OUR TOWN'S LINK WITH THE PAST - CHECK OUT BILLERICAY COMMUNITY ARCHIVE AND ALL THE NEW SUPERB ARTICLES THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS.


It's not often that you will see who actually volunteers for the above Community Archive covering the history of our town, but we were lucky in some of our team being snapped at a recent history gathering by the famous Photofold photographic experts, who have flourished in Billericay for more than forty years.  

More images will be added when a full complement of our members manage to get together later in the year. 
 

The Billericay Community Archive group was formed in 2010 in partnership with Essex County Council Libraries & the Essex Record Office, and funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. It is run by the people of Billericay.

The Billericay Community Archive takes the form of an internet site, so that its content can be accessed from home computers, the People’s Network in Libraries around the county, and from a computer anywhere in the world.

The Community Archive gathers memories as well as copying photographs and other documents that relate to the history of the area. Billericay residents are being asked to share their memories and photographs of life, the town and the surrounding areas. 

Do pay us a visit?   www.BillericayCommunityArchive
