Jersey Villas in Jersey Gardens
I currently live at one of these properties. They used to be called Jersey Villas.
I have the original deeds and all the ones up to my ownership.
Lovely house, large tall ceilings, ample space and a long 100ft garden.
This photo still has the walls and iron railings in the front garden, so this picture has to be pre war – but I do not know when. I believe that these buildings were built between 1903 and 1913.
I would be happy to find out more information if there is any.

Opposite these houses during the Second World War, were two large elm trees which had trenches dug around them, I presume for practising the defence of Wickford. I remember playing soldiers on the way home from school. I don’t remember the trees coming down, because now there is a row of bungalows there. It was a feat because the trees were big, even in the late 1940s.
The Ebenezer Church was next to these houses, way back in my lifetime, but now I hear they are building a new church at Silver End Way, on the Wick shopping area.
