A Future for Our Past

Welcome to Basildon Borough Heritage Society.

​

We are a group of like-minded volunteers who believe that our culture and heritage is central to a sustainable community.  We aim to preserve our past for the enjoyment, interest and benefit of future generations of Basildonians.

​

We do this by:

​

• Collecting memories from people who have lived in the area for a long time.

• Collect photographs and other keepsakes to be used at the various exhibitions we hold in libraries and other venues around Basildon.

• Giving talks to groups interested in their local history.

• Our Office and on-going displays are at the Green Centre, Wat Tyler

​

​Basildon Heritage meet most Mondays and Wednesdays 10am-1pm as well as Saturdays 11am-3:30pm.​

​

Due to recent concerns regarding the Coronavirus the coffee mornings have been cancelled until further notice.
