Students from the Bishops Park Photography Club were taken on a tour of the Brooklands estate at Jaywick to look for possible film locations for their anticipated film project in September.
The trip revealed some unexpected outcomes and colourful discussions with the local residents who came out to see who was photographing their neighbourhood! The students were fortunate enough to meet a lady from Romania who has lived in Jaywick for thirty years and loves the community.
Other groups of students went about looking for older style bungalow chalets to use for the film. They had an archive of photos including ‘Type A’ and ‘Type B’ chalets. Their enthusiastic search was rewarded by results! See below for comparisons of then and now in Brooklands.
