Barbara Everett's grandfather Ernie Cox was a leading member of the OAP club which was founded by E A Burles in 1954 and held in the Village Hall, Canvey.

Ernie kept an album of some of the outings and events of the club which Ernie's granddaughter Barbara has kindly lent us.

Can anyone recognise grandparents, aunts, uncles or anyone in these pictures. Please let us know.

Comments/reviews:

Great Pictures. Is Ernie Cox anything to do with the Cox Hotel at Leigh Beck? Where was the "Village Hall"? It says Canvey Road, perhaps opposite St Katherines Church where the School was?

The Village Hall was as you so rightly guessed Dave, opposite St Katherine's. There is a road there called Village Hall Close.
