I hope you've enjoyed seeing these images of First World War Braintree and Bocking - there are some others not listed here, most are listed for auction as they are quite rare and have not seen the light of day for nearly a hundred years.

I used to live in this area so recognize lots of the places. St. Michael's Church still looks the same!
ReplyDeleteLove these vintage postcards of Braintree. Another place I've never been and one to add to the ever increasing list.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Braintree in the 1950's, and recognise all of these images. A very enjoyable trip down memory lane! I now reside in Georgia, USA
