Hullbridge Memories and History

Welcome to the plate photograph collection.

Here you will find the first set of images of Hullbridge taken during the period 1937-51 by Mr A Cook and his brother who went around the village before, during and after WWII, with cameras, (one of which was a glass plate variety viz., the Ferry Road shot) taking the views and turning them into postcards for the tourists to purchase.

These are just thumbnails of the main picture which can be accessed by simply left clicking on the relevant image. Also by running. mouse pointer over picture will reveal a photo description.
The majority of these pictures are owned by Mr Bill Trower who has kindly granted me permission to show these, other owners are myself and Mr D Whiffin.
These images are Copyright protected. Anyone wishing to use them in any shape or form must at first obtain the written permission of the owner who can be contacted through myself, Mr G. Congram.

If you recognise anyone in the photos that has not been noted please let me know.
