Notes:
1) Other known inhabitants of Helmore Crescent who have not yet been paired with a property include: Sidney W. Jennings (October 1937), Percy Leech (October 1941), Stanley C.W. Simmonds (April 1940), associated with the Wheatsheaf corn stores at 42 High Road, Laindon.

2) Some properties were known to be connected to the Gas Light and Coke Company gas supply from at least October 1937.

3) One house was known to have been built but has not yet been clearly identified.

4) A single approx. 2ft width concrete footpath existed beginning on the south side off Railway Approach and eventually crossing the grass track to the north side around the midway point to the end, where the path crossed back in the shape of a curve to the cinder track of Sumpners Farm Road. This area became dense woodland. At that curved point in the 1960s/1970s were two or more felled tree stumps which people used as seats.

5) Many residents sold their own fruit and vegetable produce.

6) Property freehold registered with H.M. Land Registry: Plots 156-158 Manor House Estate, Helmore Crescent, Laindon, Essex, by A. E. Davison, Yenbaud, High Road, Laindon.

Other points of interest:

1) Helmore Crescent was named after Thomas Helmore an estate agent who marketed properties around Laindon in the early 1900s. Although no trace of Helmore Crescent exists today a portion of the then new Laindon 8/9 development corporation housing estate off Durham Road was named Helmores and Helmore Court. Some Helmore Crescent properties were considered to be in Little Burstead prior to later boundary changes.

2) The western end of Worthing Road off Railway Approach was partially made up as far as Number 90 (even) and 99 (odd). Those properties beyond that point down to Dunton Drive that survived to the late 1970s/early 1980s were subsequently demolished for the housing development known as the Presidents and Commonwealth housing development.
