Football - Moathouse Special School Report (BBC Essex Voices) 2003

Essex people talk about being young, going out and having fun. We hear about dance halls, big bands, jiving, teddy boys, bikers, mods and rockers, 70s disco, the electronic 80s and nightclubbing in the 90s. We also take a journey to the seaside with descriptions of playtime at Southend-on-Sea, holiday camps at Clacton and beach huts at St. Osyth.

CENTURY SPEAKS 12 Leisure Time (social history)

Essex people talk about money and their struggles when they had little cash. They speak of poverty and being out of work before welfare benefits were universal. There are descriptions of being well-off in the 1920s, and the arrival of the Co-ops, hire purchase and credit cards. Modern marketing and materialism are  also discussed.
