The End of the Road

Took some time to wander down to the site of The Diver and see if we could locate the old beach area where Londoners would come for a summer's day out. Found the Diver but the path was closed due to construction work :-(








A Sunny Walk Around the Village

Good day spent with young people from The Royals Youth Centre locating places around Rainham which mean something to them and documenting with good old fashioned film cameras!

75th Anniversary Event at Rainham Library

Looking forward to the 75th Anniversary at Rainham Library on Friday 20th October and meeting local people (and the coffee!) We'll be there during the morning to tell people about The Rainham Archive and The Heritage Trail.  Picked up some great books from the library a few weeks ago, one with a great quote from an American visitor back in the early seventies: "One day, after driving past monotonous factories for perhaps half an hour, the bus terminated its journey at a lovely little Norman Church in Rainham village, Essex".
