Wickford Churches

These are photographs recently seen at the collection in Basildon Heritage, Wat Tyler Park.

The first photograph is of The Tabernacle, in London Road. We have little knowledge of it except that it was a building used by the Southend Elim Church for its first meetings in 1926. It would be interesting to discover more of its history – for example, when it was built and who used it for the period of its existence.

The other photographs are of the Mission Hall, in London Road, and the interior of Wickford Congregational Church, in the High Street.
