My great-great grandfather Horace Smith was a timekeeper at a brick field in Rainham. In 1881, aged 20, he lived with his family at 8 Broad Walk, and was described in the census as a "Clerk in Brickfield". Below is one of several photos that I have of him (in the suit, in the front row) with his work mates
After the recent appeal for info about the Rainham Spectacular Rainham Spectacular Fair at Cozenton Park 1972 - 1981 and Miss Rainham Competition Winners one of the volunteers at Rainham Community centre was able to get in touch with Kim Unger who was crowned Miss Rainham in 1981.
This photo was taken during the rather wet Rainham Spectacular in 1981 where Kim won the Miss Rainham contest.
