Another in the series of Hadleigh Heritage talks; this one floats on the littoral vigour of the famous Carole Mulroney. A very refreshing prospect for Saturday 20th September 2025!

Very appropriate for shrimpers, a potted history will do nicely for connections with the city's history.

A sneak preview of my next book, "City of Southend: A Potted History". Due out in September. It does what it says on the tin!

I just saw three planets (and stood on another) good enough for Cunning Murrell with dodgy eyesight; I'll try again in 2040!

What/Where?
Reckon really easy again.

Answer, Monday just after 9.00am.

[Cunning Murrell @CunningMurrell]

An early and still active example of radical Essex in action: classic history with pictures by keen researchers with the great gift for presenting with interest and accuracy. Wholly engaging!

[Cunning Murrell @CunningMurrell]

A great place to visit, admire the huge underground concrete shell, marvel at the shiny tungsten bars built into the concrete to protect against an EMP, see what the UK can do even when technically bankrupt!

This day October 1st 1952, (probably) construction began on a ‘Secret Nuclear Bunker’ at Kelvedon Hatch. It was top secret. Built on land compulsorily purchased from the Kelvedon Hatch farm of Jim Parrish just off the A128, between Brentwood and Ongar. Today it’s less secret.
