  • OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE EXISTED FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS HELP US KEEP THEM ALIVE.

    To make this happen and keep the Archive a true record of the evolution of our South Essex community we need your memories of living in it.
    Many children and grand children have lived in the community longer than our parents and grand parents. They have helped shape the community so must have a say in the record of the social history of the communities.
    Just because your community is not specifically mentioned above does not exclude you from contributing. Find out more about us or get in touch.
