Bradwell Flower Show 1899 In Victorian times Bradwell Flower Show was one of the highlights of the area when people from Bradwell on Sea, Dengie, St Lawrence and Tillingham all competed to show who was best at growing flowers, vegetables and in country crafts such as honey making. There were three classes for each competition - Open to all from the four parishes, Farm labourers only and Tradesmen, Artisans and Farm Bailiffs. The Essex County Standard recorded the events at the 1899 show. A procession of 50 to 60 cyclists in fancy dress assembled at the White Horse Inn at Dengie and led by Southminster Brass Band rode to the showground at Rectory Park, Bradwell on Sea.
