Basildon Town Centre

The Event was co-run by Insite-Essex, who, in conjunction with Greenwich + Docklands Festivals, have brought shows to Hadleigh and Southend as part of the whole Essex cultural programme ( I think that is correct). Use the link below to visit their website for more information.

Heritage Scandal

BULLDOZE THE TOWN CENTRE!! (Evening Echo)

Demolish Brooke House!! (Yellow Advertiser)

Council threatens Demolition of Grade II listed Tower block, relevant as unique design and an example of innovative Postmodern Architecture of the 20th Century (1960's). Registered with English Heritage after 3 years of research by them, the listing came into effect in 1998, along with the famous West London tower block Trellick Tower in the same session. Basildon Council want to undo all that, and wipe one of the key landmarks of Basildon, right off the map.

Squashydog's Page

O.K. I realise this is probably quite a crass thing to do - give my dog her own web page, but I have lots of lovely pix to share with you, if you choose to go see them.

You can click the link below to view the images.

Also, send her a picture of your dog to go into Squashy's chums Gallery - just email from squashy's page - it's easy!

This site is well worth a visit if you are interested in matters of a historical nature regarding Basildon or its' past and present inhabitants.

You can view photos of a Basildon almost unrecognisable from today's manifestation. Brooke House being one of the few buildings still recognisable in the historical pictures in this site. Not forgetting to mention the beautiful Mother and Child fountain, of course.

One pupil from Woodlands School used her initiative and contacted the Basildon History site users to help her with her GCSE coursework! (large hint to my pupils!!). I hope she did well in her results! Good thinking I say.

You can leave a message for long lost school chums, or tell one of your favourite anecdotes from the past, in the Basildon Stories section. It is a very interesting site - stop by and sign the visitors book.

I work here, it is a fine school with dedicated staff who always put the children first.

Homework Help

This is one of the most useful sites for doing your homework if you need to research art and artists and art movements. You can explore artists within the relevant art movement. Just click on the logo above.

For Example: Go to Artchive.com (it is the best one of the lot) click on "Surrealism" and find out the artists related to that art movement, as well as others who are not directly related but work in the "Surrealist" style, it will help you understand the style of work that the Surrealists did, and the type of work that is attributed to modern artists that label their work as Surreal.

Other good sites:

Although there are not many images on this site for copyright reasons, you can get a lot of information on the artists you require. Well worth a trip to the Tate galleries themselves, wherever you are in the country, perhaps you are on holiday and out of your normal area. Art is always better 1st hand. Go here to check what's on before you go visiting.

Views of Basildon

I live in Brooke House which is one of only two tower blocks in the whole of Basildon, it is a grade II listed building, earning that listing for its' merits as an example of notable design from the 1960's.

Inside the flats themselves also echo the design expertise and innovation, the 'v' shaped windows allow in more light than the plain flat window, and the depth of those windows mean that one can sit in the sofa and view the town through the lower panels of glass. Brilliant! - Not convinced that todays climate for making a quick buck in property development would bring forth such attention to detail.

The one thing i would not swap for the world is the view from my lounge window, or kitchen, or bedroom for that matter.

Click here to see some of the wonderful skylines, both sunny and stormy days alike.

What can you see from your lounge window?

Check if your surname is on the GOONS website:

If you are tracing your family history, it could save you years of searching if your surname is listed with the "Guild of One Name Studies" (goons)

Are you visiting an unfamiliar town or village ?

Often genealogists need to do this to check out parish records; and of course, you must wet your whistle whilst there and munch the local delicacies. But please don't drink and drive.

Does the town or village have good hostelries? Find out before you go, do a quick search here for Pubs and Restaurants.

My Genealogy Killick /Hayhoe

For those of you that do not know, I am researching my family history. hh It has become an obsession, I have found it to be one of the most insteresting pastimes I have ever taken up. There are many ways of tracing your roots, I have found the easiest way is to use the many databases on the internet. I have mentioned my favourites below.

Killick Family History

I have amassed quite a bit of information on my own family search and have a lot to thank the Killick Society for, members contributing and sharing their own research in the name of compiling one "master" Killick tree, instead they have about 20 substantial trees dating back to the 1200's. My tree however, known as the Kent 2 tree, goes back to 1585.

I have a Knight of the Garter, Sir John killick in one line linked to this tree. A another branch of my tree boasts Adam killick, journalist and scriptwriter, currently making a TV programme for Canadian Broadcasting Corp. He is retracing the Newfoundland trail of Captain James Cooke In a programme called "Chasing Cooke". He is the son of another descendanti have recently been sharing family information with.

If you are a Killick visiting my site, can I please recommend that you subscribe to their membership. You receive a bi-annual newsletter on CD or by post and overseas subscriptions are also catered for.

As a group of like-minded Killicks sharing information and research tips, the information is more specific than searching a general site; much information that you might require is already collated and proven.

Many members are genealogy experts, having devoted countless years to their own endeavours. Personally I was able to gain 200 additional years on my original research in one fell swoop. I think the subscription is good value for money, our members are very helpful indeed; there is much to be gained by joining and you can play just as important a part in forming the one large Killick tree we are all hoping for, despite it being a perpetually unfinished task.

Useful Genealogy links:

is, as the name suggests - completely free. It is run by volunteers who transcribe the original documents and put the details online, on this site. A truly worthy endeavour if you ask me. The information is limited though, to births, marriages and deaths only, as the name suggests.

They offer the 1881 census for free and the annual subscription is very reasonable, if you consider how many times you will search for each name in your list of names to investigate. There are various types of subscription to sign up to.

Founded in 1894 to gather genealogical records and assist members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with their family history and genealogical research. It holds the largest library of its kind in the world. Some of the BMD information is further advanced than on other sites .

A genealogy site with the personal touch. This site is very useful when trying to obtain records prior to 1837. There is a whole range of records, books, resources for genealogists, CD Databases, Microfiche, you name it.......Good resources relating to London particularly, from dockland histories to archbishops transcripts, but there are extensive records for nearly every county.

The staff, are very friendly and eager to please. A service that is quite rare in this society of multi-national companies and online anonymity. A growing company giving the 'big boys' a run for their money! They stock a good range of products from a long list of genealogy suppliers, all on one site for your convenience - It's open 24/7/365, your "One Stop Genealogy Shop". Who could ask for more?
