The house that I grew up in is one of the light streaks on the left of this photo. Not sure if this is of any assistance but the main feature in shot is ‘Eastern Avenue’ running roughly diagonal across the frame with ‘The Drive’ to Ilford being the road running roughly horizontal. Gants Hill is at one end just above the centre with northern part of Cranbrook Road leading off northwards to what will become Barkingside. At the other end of the photo, the site of what was to become Redbridge Roundabout would be just beyond where the Eastern Avenue runs out of frame on the left.

My great great grandfather was Stephen Harvey farmer of Raylands Farm, Thundersley (1821-1964). Lavinia Harvey married Henry Yeaxlee and I believe their home was 'Hazelwood', London Road, Hadleigh. In 1950 the house was still standing and described as 'situated in a busy part of the main road'. Does anybody have a picture of 'Hazlewood'? Any information would be welcome.
