On today’s programme, FRANCES CLAMP who took me on a trip down to buildings which once stood at 118-120 High Street in Billericay. Number 118 was once badly damaged by fire and subsequently demolished in 1958. Number 120 was something of an oddity for Billericay, being neither very old nor post 1960. It actually dates back to the First World War and once was home to a a shop called “SECOND TO NONE” which sold all manner of cheap goods from linens to crockery. Frances also took me to a pub in a nearby village.
Listen again to what Frances had to say on this subject here:- Bygones 8th October
Right I’m off to another pub right now and look forward to being with you again next week.
Cheers,
Scott
