QUEEN'S SILVER JUBILEE PARADE. WEST MERSEA 1977
Sorry about the quality but the photographs scanned were originally done on lustre paper which doesn't give the best sharpness

SEVENTIES SCENE
Here is a selection of pictures that I
took in the early seventies when I lived in Mersea. Some places have changed very little whilst other areas have changed drastically. The open fields and wooded areas where I played as a child have now given way to housing. The unmade roads around the Empess Avenue/Willoughby Avenue area where the local Milk & Bread delivery vans were up to their axles in the winter have all been 'made-up'
