GOATS IN ESSEX? - CHECK OUT THE BBC ESSEX THURSDAY MORNING PROGRAMME - GREAT MEMORIES OF BILLERICAY SCHOOL

 

Arthur Lingard  Mary Snowden Stuart Broomhead and Adam Henderson 

                   

It may be twenty years since I met them all, but it was fun to listen to Ben Fryer presenting the BBC Essex morning programme featuring Adam Henderson who ran the Billericay School Farm for many years. Adam and his colleagues, including Headteacher  Mr Arthur Lingard all paid a visit here for a cuppa when I was writing the history of The Billericay School.  Shame the school farm closed so many years ago, but is still, obviously, remembered by former pupils.
