Recreation Ground (The Rec) pavilion, still present although in poor condition and much decayed. The remains of the tennis courts are still there.

All allotments right up to the 1970s. Remenber them well and visually odd in the middle of a town, even then.

Great Bradfords Farm, later Ushers Dairy until the 1970s, now housing

The original recreation ground pavilion beside which were childrens swings. Now gone and this is the only visual evidence of its existance that I am aware of. Played here when young.

The Crttall Houses designed by C H B Quennell, the precursors of the larger Silver End Estate

The Jubilee Oak, now gone.

Howard Close, Howard Road at this time, and only half the length that it is now.The end house on the left hand side is now No.27. The later red brick Houses were flats and were constructed after WW2, the turning head at the end of the Close being connected to Cressing Road by a "Gant" as they were known locally.
