A bit before my time
Sorting out my drawers!

I was having a sort out of my memory drawer the other day, looking for something totally unrelated, when I came across this booklet, dated July 1946, entitled “Parish Magazine, Laindon-cum-Basildon” then thumbing through it, I realised that it may be of some interest to peeps like yourselves on here, I have scanned the front cover and the first inside pages for you to see.

Ok Ed, I`ll upload the next batch.
Nina, I understand.
It gets even more interesting. I’ve noticed that eight of my school classmates were Christened in July. I was born 19th July 1946 so no doubt I was Christened in August/September. Fascinating to read after sixty seven and a half years.
John. That is very kind of you, thank you very much. I would like to borrow it, however, as we do not publish e-mail or home addresses on the website, I will make contact with you via one of the editors. Thanks again.
About 50 Nina, It names many of the shops and merchants, If you wish I can send it to you for you to read. If you live local, I can pop it around? I`m in Brentwood.
Editor: John we would like to add the rest of the pages to the site to jog the memories
Very interesting indeed as it’s exactly the same age as me. I was born in July 1946, christened and married at St Nicholas Church. Fascinating to read. How many pages are there altogether?
