Basildon, originally a collection of villages in Essex, underwent a remarkable transformation after the Second World War in 1949. Over the past seventy years, the town has experienced an incredible metamorphosis. In the 1950s, as the first homes were completed, a wave of new residents began to settle in, attracted by the promise of a new and vibrant community. Alongside the new housing developments, Basildon's industrial parks flourished, attracting renowned businesses like Ford, Gordons Gin, and GEC Marconi. The town also pioneered innovative retailing, with the largest covered shopping center in Europe, built in the 1980s.
The town's regeneration efforts continue, with plans in place to further enhance its infrastructure and preserve its historical heritage. Basildon boasts numerous green, open spaces, adding to its charm and appeal. Lost Basildon is a captivating photographic journey that delves into the town's past, showcasing not only the buildings, streets, and industries that have vanished or changed over time but also capturing the essence of a way of life that has faded away. This fascinating photographic history will resonate with residents of Basildon, those who have known it for decades, and even those who have only heard of this remarkable town.
