A history and lifestyle journal www.swwj.co.uk
Off now to our super local Billericay library, one of Essex's busiest and which is vital to all readers and writers, helping me particularly when researching my current local history project. This photo, is of course, very old and the actual library is in a connected, but modern building - will post an up-to-date image when I get home.

My grandmother lived in this house in the 1930s and my mother got married from it in 1937. I don't know how long the family lived there, whether it was rented or owned. Would love to know!
