Ron Ewers

A few photographs

By Brian Pettitt

Here are some images from Ron Ewers' photo album that I think are of interest for the site.

Ron Ewers has provided the following background for some of them:

Oakdene House (which I assume is the one shown in the photos and where the family who ran the nursery lived) was built in 1906 on the site of what is now Oaklands Mews off Rectory Road. It was built by William Lay and was surrounded by a substantial nursery.

Tom Lay, his son, married Ethel and they had a daughter Sylvia who married Ron Ewers.

(RDCA-Admin): The photos are displayed below. Hover over a photo for a "caption" (the end bit of the URL line which is shown at the bottom of the screen). Click on any miniature to start a slideshow. Close the slideshow by clicking on the X in its bottom right corner. Please feel free to add additional information or observations in the comment section.

Brought back so many memories of my childhood. I was born in Rochford in 1944. Thank you.
