Dave moved into the village from Basildon around 1974.
In the process of tracing his family history he noticed that there were several postcards for sale on Ebay about Hullbridge
and thought how nice it would be to start a collection.
Todate he has amassed 82 postcards starting c1920 to 2007. Dave's collection is truely wonderful !

Unknown 1950 Davis Caravan Camp The postcard photo was taken approx., 1950's . The postcard states Davis Caravan Camp. This refers to William S Davis,a builder who pioneered the first mobile home site in Hullbridge. No site was known as Davis Caravan Camp, but this is thorught to be Crouch Caravan Site which was one of the earliest in the village. Crouch Caravan Site had a fixed layout with pemranent roads around which the caravans were stationed. It is also thought the Mr Davis had early involvement with the development of Tower Caravan Site next door, which did not at first have a fixed layout. |
