Bradwell on Sea Flower Show Winners 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.
There were a high number
of entries.
The Essex County Standard
listed members of the committee and the overall champion who was Mr
W F A Cook from Tillingham who displayed potatoes.
The people below all are
listed as prize winners in the show.
