Hi, Can anyone give me any information on Harold George Howard, I know he designed the Tudor
buildings in pitsea and the War Memorial in Pitsea, But any other information would be appreciated.
Thanks
Re: Harold George Howard
Posted by Mark M on 11/1/2011, 12:33 pm
I think he lived at Bluehouse Farm, near the junction of London Rd and Rectory Rd - and he is buried
in a family plot at St Margaret, that lonely little church next to the railway line in Bowers
Gifford. Afraid that's all I really know!
Re: Harold George Howard
Posted by lee harlow on 26/1/2011, 8:42 pm
im sure he was the owner of a dairy he owned much of pitsea between the wars, the tudor buildings
you see today were going to be a part of a big master plan.
He wanted a whole place in mock
tudor style but the out break of the second world war put a stop to it
Re: Harold George Howard
Posted by Jack Fisher on 23/6/2011, 5:40 pm
He was also responsible for building the cinema then called the Broardway. The Railway Hotel as
it was then. He also built Pitsea's own electrical generator. This powered all the shops and
the flats above them. The bank. The cinema. The hotel the war memorial and all the street lights
along Pisea Broadway and the entrance to station lane. The building that it was housed in is
still standing behind the Tudor mansions and shops. Yes he also ran a dairy. His first shop was
the second house on your left as you enter Rectory road. It's still there.

| 4. Kent View Recreation Ground, Vange, Basildon |
Posted by Phil Jacobs on 11/1/2011, 12:23 pm
Kent View Recreation Ground, Kent View Road, Vange, Basildon, Essex is being proposed to be sold
by Basildon Borough Council. Older residents of Kent View believe a land owner / farmer Mr Campbell
gifted Kent View Rec to the residents of Kent View Road back in the 50s when New Town developments
wanted to buy all his land. Keeping Kent View Recreation Ground for the people was a condition
he placed on the sales of his land. Which begs the question has the Council the right to propose
its sale. If anyone has any facts or perhaps documentation to verify this belief a thousand plus
residents trying to save Kent View Rec would be very grateful.
Many Thanks,
Phil Jacobs, Vange
Re: Kent View Recreation Ground, Vange, Basildon
Posted by Patricia Alden-Smith on 10/7/2011, 8:14 pm
Have you tried the land registry, old Ordnance Survey maps or the records office. You may do better
at county hall than local council offices. I was born in Vange but now not local. Have looked
at old OS maps for post war and it gives the names of the old roads (no longer there) for the area
that you need info on so that might be a help.
Re: Kent View Recreation Ground, Vange, Basildon
Posted by Phil Jacobs on 10/7/2011, 8:55 pm
Hi Patricia, we have been onto the Land registry etc which confirmed the land was owned by a
Mr R Campbell, which we have been advised is Richard. We are follwing a number of leads into the
Campbell family etc and have people that are going to look at the Essex Records office. There
have been loads of residents in their 80's and 90's that remember a covenant and that the land was
given by Campbell to the residents of Kent View Road so there must be something to all this and
it would appear the Council should not be selling this land. Thank you very much for your information
and responding to my request. regards Phil Jacobs

does anyone remeber them or lived there. Do you remember the gap into Trenham ave?
Re: Prefabs in Pitsea
Posted by Alan Hawkins on 29/3/2011, 9:39 pm
I remember the prefabs left off of Rectory road traveling south, but can't remember the name of
road could have been Kenneth or Luncies. However I do remember Trenham avenue I was Born there
in a Bungalow called Nookfold I last visited there for a peep in about 2000 ish I believe there
has been some re-developement since.

Re: Prefabs in Pitsea
Posted by Alan Hawkins on 30/3/2011, 9:04 pm
Hello Pat
I think between 1 and 2 years only a baby so have no real memories of it only information
from parents, there was no water or sewage facilities water came from a well my parents have both
passed away now so cannot be accurate about timing but we moved to St. Leonards ave around 1949
and were there until 1963, that home was compulsory purchased by Basildon Development Corporation
very sad. I first saw Nookfold when I took my mother there around 2000 she said it looked just
the same and still called Nookfold that area seems to have escaped any serious re development for
time being anyway, not sure about now of course as it's 10 years or so on!
My gran and grandad
lived in Cecil Drive; also compulsory purchased around 1972 ish.
Rectory road and surrounding
area hold fond memories for me, a paper round from Steggles helped pay for my bike and left me
with a three penny joe each week!...Hard times but no responsibilities then!
Didn't know of
Mrs Lovering, did know the Howell brothers one named Archie both very good one worked at Nevendon
School as a caretaker and the other at Shell Refinery couple of characters but genuine and good
fellows.
regards Alan

HI ALAN, CAN'T RECALL NOOKFOLD, BUT REMEMBER ARCHIE AND TWIN BROTHER FRED. YES NO WATER OR SEWAGE

Hello Pat
My Brother knew a Don Lowe I'll have to check, he lived in one of the prefabs I
did go there with my brother when I was about 12 or 13.
If I am correct Archie was the Caretaker
and Fred Worked at Shell the Banter on the way to work in those days was hilarious it was what
made it all worthwhile when you were fed up! Thought you might find the following of interest.
Had an e-mail from my brother in December 2010,"Was I still going to be going to see him and
family as the weather not too clever!"
Well, when I started work in 1962 the snow was the
worst I can ever remember, so I sent an E-mail back as follows..........
Remember 1962/3,
getting up at half past night!! huddling round the Belling fire two bars on!, the ice was on the
inside of the windows quick wash probably a kettle full of hot water,No emersion, walking
line astern to Pitsea, might get on the first bus outside the Century cinema, fingers crossed for
the second bus, push it round five bells the bus was full when there was no standing room
on the open platform! Today cars start every time without fail..... ABS, traction control,
auto pilot, heaters! Climate control, heated seats!! Heated mirrors, Sat Nav!!!....Are
we getting soft or what!!....... Gritters never saw gritters in those days!................................
I will be
packing enough food to keep me going for a week a stove, your snow shovel, and if that's not
enough, provided I get stuck on the way there, I will eat your Toblerone that should keep
me going through to the new year, I love this weather!!...................See you Monday....
Those were
the days Pat
Take care Alan

| 6. Laindon Park 1962/63 |
Posted by Lee Beecroft on 20/2/2011, 2:13 pm
Hi, i'm trying to help my father-in-law out, when he was a kid, he remembers playing in Laindon
Park in the summer of either 1962 or 63, where they had a very tall pear tree. On one occasion
a young boy of about 8 or 9 climbed the tree to shake some pears down, and fell. My father-in-law
has been trying to find out for years what happened to the young boy. Whether he survived or not
as its been playing on his mind.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Lee

Hi Lee, I Seriously hope you get the answer to your question, but the Only park as such I recall
from back then, was off Berry Lane, Langdon Hills, and as far as I know, still there, yet I can't
for the life of me, remember a pear tree being there.

Hi Keith...
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It took a fair bit of time tracking down enough
material to make it work as a book. It was in fact harder this time round to find enough material
compared to the Softee & Whippy books. This is why I added the non tonibell chapters to get to
the amount of words required to fill 64 pages.

| 9. Carnival Time... |
Posted by Valerie Wilson on 7/3/2011, 12:03 pm
Can you remember the great fun we all had getting ready for the Basildon Carnival. One year we
found that we needed a lorry and it was getting very near the date for the carnival parade. Well
our coalman came to the rescue. He delivered his lorry when he finished his work to a space accross
the road from my house. Then the fun began we had to wash the coal lorry first and then
decorate it. There were no problems re so many rules as there are today. Which is why so many
wonderful events don't happen.
Well i'm gald they all happened in my childhood and teenage
years as it's those memories that keep me happy today. Valerie...

| 10. Fundraising... |
Posted by Valerie Wilson on 7/3/2011, 12:24 pm
How many can remember our fundraising events, Jumble sales, We would go from door to door collecting
belongings people no longer wanted in their homes, Then when we had enough we would rent the Scout
hall in Fairview Road and sell as much as we could. This was great fun because the children,
parents and friends all came together so in todays terms it would be called a jumble party. Anyway
when the sale was over and we had nearly finished the juice and biscuits it was time to clear what
was left. Well for this we took all the buttons off garments, zips out, Infact anything that could
be used to resell at the christmas bazzar. Then the Rag and Bone man would come and give us a
few more pennies or shillings for what was then left. Ah the good old days... Now they call them make
over's. recycled etc etc, I could go on... Valerie... Next piece on getting ready for the christmas bazzar. Valerie...

| 16. The day "Old Basildon" died |
Posted by Steven on 22/6/2011, 1:14 pm
Here's a question for people who knew and lived in the Basildon area before the 1950s. When do
you feel 'Old Basildon' disappeared for good? I'm sure it's tempting to simply say "The day the
Basildon Development Corporation was formed" or "The day the first bulldozer moved in", but please
try and give a more considered response. The history books suggest that large parts of Pitsea,
Vange and Laindon went relatively unchanged well into the late '50s/'60s. So maybe it was the day
that an old building went, or when a particular area close to your heart was bulldozed, or when a
certain new building sprang up, or perhaps something even more personal.
I'm genuinely interested
to hear some thoughts from the pre-new town residents on this.
Steven
Re: The day "Old Basildon" died
Posted by Jack Fisher on 23/6/2011, 5:11 pm
To us old ones that lived in the Basildon area before the new town was formed. B.U.D.C. was Billericay
urban district council. At the top of Laindon hills there was a steel post marking the border of
Basildon and Thurock counties with B.U.D.C. on. That post was there long before Basildon new town
was formed.
I have written some of my memories of the days I lived in the Five bells area. In
the war years and my school days. If anyone would like to read them I would be glad to send them on.
Re: The day "Old Basildon" died
Posted by mike fruin on 26/6/2011, 12:50 am
Steven. I don't think there was a day that old Basildon died.
It was a slow demise. When I
moved to Basildon from Romford in 1955 there were still old Basildon houses around. Opposite the
end of Whimore Way, in Timberlog lane was a large white house. All along that side of Timberlog
lane were 'old' houses. As teenagers there was no distinction. We all went to the various youth
clubs and the cinema in Pitsea, and danced at the Railway Hotel. My first job was building new
houses in Basildon. "Old" Basildon was there for many years.

Posted by Phil Jacobs on 27/6/2011, 8:38 pm
Campbells field which is now known as Kent View Recreation Ground, Kent View Road, Vange is being
proposed to sold by Basildon Borough Council for housing development. There is a large number of
older residents around Kent View and also those that have moved to other areas that know this field
as Campbells field and that it was given to the people in perpetuity in 1958 by the land owner Mr
Campbell. If anyone knows the whereabouts of existing Campbell family members or old newspaper
articles on this or a copy of the covenant that can vefify that this land cannot be sold as this
is what a huge number of residents believe is fact. Please can you kindly advise any information. Thank You
