Hullbridge Memories and History

Welcome to Dave Whiffin's Postcard Collection Gallery.

Here you will find images of Dave Whiffin's postcard collection.
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 !

The images are just thumbnails of the main picture which can be accessed by simply left clicking on the relevant image.

If you recognise anyone on the postcards that has not been noted please let me know.
