What we do: Our primary aim is to research local Benfleet History. We expect to move out into other nearby areas and eventually into Essex.
The Winter months are a prime time for us to use all methods such as word of mouth (family Memories), books, other documents, library, Benfleet Community Archive [view at Benfleet History] or Benfleet Historical Society, etc. to find out about the History of the area in which we live.
In the Spring and Summer, we plan to visit some of the lesser known villages and places of interest in Essex, tying this up with a lunch or tea in a local pub or café. We have not yet decided on a time day or day of the week for this to happen. We will update this information once it is agreed with everyone.
