I am doing a "tree" and have found some info on my relatives. Joe and Joyce Coney lived at Shanklin, Stack Ave in the 50's. Joyce later married Victor Gridley when Joe left her. My Great gran Lillian Coomber who was married to Percy lived at The Elms,Berry Road. Her mother Mary and brother William Coney also lived there for a while. I have piccy's of me as a child visiting about 1964. Does anyone remember them? My Dad still lives in Eastbourne, David Coney. |

It was truly great to see the Exhibition at Laindon Library on Saturday and meet up with a lady who started school at Markhams Chase on the same day as me, then learn from her that one teacher is still alive. |

I moved to Basildon in 1960 with my family and was a Postman at the old Laindon Sorting Office in the High Road. Final move to Gladwyns on LCN & was there for almost 40 years. Played football for local GPO team and raced Autocross in a Mini Cooper for years. Moved to Cyprus in 2003 although a few of our kids still live in Basildon with their families. Used to be a great place to live but changed over the years, sadly not for the better. Still have many fond memories of places and people we knew some of whom still keep in touch. I still consider myself a Basildon Boy and I always will. Basildon was good to me and my family and it's still where my heart is. |

Just discovered this site, realy enjoyed looking at the photo's of Timberlog Lane, they brought back a lot of memories.
I enjoyed the stories told by Thomas Edwards and Mrs J R Cartwright as they also brought back a lot of memories of people and places that I knew.
My grangfather was a nurseryman, we lived in a bungalow in Timberlog Lane called "VERONICA" opposite where Long Riding is now.
I lived there untill I was 17 when I joined the R.A.F, my neighbours one side were John and Derek Hood they lived with their parents Percy and Lillian, the other side was Ronnie Counter and his parents.
Peter Ross and his father had a car scrapyard on the corner of Ivy Road,on the other corner was Blundells General Store, changing later to Tom Ward.
Dick Stacey was a pal of mine his father owner the coal yard they lived on Stacey's corner.

Colin & Linda mentioned living in King Edward Drive.Around 1955 I worked weekends for a pig farmer at the top of the Drive. His name was 'Dicky' Bird and he drove stock cars. His wife was Rosie and he had 2 daughters, Shirley and Brenda and a younger boy called Jim. 'Dicky' was killed in a car accident on the Southend arterial around 1957.
Anyone have any information?

Love this site! as old Laindon People
(my wife from Kings Road and me from king Edward) since the 1940's we loved old Laindon. We both went to Laindon High. Amazing just how many shops and what variety there used to be. Just try and remember all Laindon's cafes! |

Love seeing old pics of the area. Although a Corringham boy,my father's family came to old Basildon in the 1920s and owned a poultry farm in Church Road and later on Kiln Farm in Pitsea. I wish the area still looked like it did in those old photos,it's awful now!! |
