Kelly's Directory of 1926 does not list tradespeople. From memory as it was the main road to the coast before the new A12, there were two garages, one on the north corner of Station Road and the main road which is now a private home and the other may have been on the southern corner of Maldon Road and the main road just before the two cottages one of which is Blacksmith's Cottages. The directory does though give some information on Crix. "Crix is the residence of Collingwood Hope Esq. C.B.E, K.C., F.R.G.S.,D.L., J.P. Who's Who in Essex states; Hope, Collingwood, born 1858 Bebington, Cheshire son of the late Thomas Arthur Hope, educated at Rugby and Pembroke College, Oxford.

Glyn Richard Myhill Does anyone have a local trades directory that would cover Hatfield Peveral for the 1920's - 1930's who could look up details of a local garage / coach company that was run or owned by a family called SPRINGETT. I am also very interested in Miss Theresa M.Hope who lived in Crix and had connections with Egypt. Any help would be much appreciated. Richard Myhill richardmyhill43@btinternet.com
