Great Wakering Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Great Wakering: St Nicholas' churchyard, Essex Taken standing in St Nicholas' churchyard on Great Wakering Common. You can clearly see many of the interesting and ancient graves in the foreground, plus the old cottages of New Road behind the churchyard. This area was once a bakery. The following is a picture I recently found of this area depicting old baker's shop on the junction of New Road and Shoebury Road. http://www.peter-owen.myby.co.uk/postcards/greatwakering/gtwk05.jpg
