Basildon Over 2000 Years: Project

Essex Media Workshop has produced 3 WW2 documentary DVDs funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The titles are as follows: Those Blessed Girls – Land Girls’ Stories; Defence of the Home Front – Civil Defence and Home Guard Stories and Operation Pied Piper – Evacuee Stories. Each of these titles have been placed in Essex Schools and UK libraries, with copies and the full interviews placed in the ERO and other archives. The projects have involved local schools so that they can learn about the subjects in a hands on and fun way.

We are considering an ambitious project to try and tell the story of the Basildon District over the past 2000 years. It is hoped that we can, again, generate interest with the local schools but would also like to work with yourselves, local historians and archives.

Would you be interested in being a part of this ambitious but exciting project, should we decide to apply for funding?
