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.
