Basildon Rectory
Rectory Road Rectory Road originally ran between Pipps Hill Road and Gardiners Lane. A small section of the road at the Pipps Hills Road junction was retained and renamed Pipps Hill Close and diverted to open out into Cranes Farm Road. This was still residential up to the early 1970s when the last house was demolished to make way for a new Zoo, which later became the Festival Leisure Hall in the 1980s. In the late 1990s the Festival Leisure Park was created and all traces of the road disappeared. At the Gardiners Lane South exit the road is still evident, though now called Gardiners Close. Here the road is still residential but could disappear as part of the Gardiners Lane regeneration scheme. Text researched and written 2005 with revisions 2005-2006. Copyright © 2005-2006, B.
