The Haven - Plotlands Laindon Essex

Back in the early 20th centuary Londoners set up a community called Plotlands. This was an attempt to get away from some of the conditions of London then. A small museum remains of what was once an extensive area in the Essex country side.

The wedding picture you showed was my parents in May 1951. The second picture was the fur and feather club members, my grandfather Tom Jenkins was the secretary. I lived in Dunton from 1953-1963. My sister was born in Dunton so was my mother. The family has lived there since before WW1. Interesting video. No mention of the compulsory purchase of land by the corporation. Many elderly people lost their bungerlows and land. My Grandfather included.
