As a small child of 6 back in the late 50's my older sister, who would have been 19, used to take me to St Mary's Crescent to visit her friend June Edwards or June Hair (not sure of the surname) and the family lived at number 89 St Mary's Crescent. I can't remember if June had any other brothers or sisters, but in my minds eye, I remember thinking it was a big house in a very big street. We must have got the bus to Pitsea and then walked all the way down Rectory Road, that in the late 50's, would have been lined with bungalows, trees and green fields. I have often wondered when the estate was first built would you have any knowledge as to when the estate was completed and families started to move in? Many thanks Roberta David
