From Chelmsford Chronicle Friday 17th July 1936 RECREATION GROUND FOR HADLEIGH The John H. Burrows Recreation Ground at Hadleigh was opened on Saturday by Mrs. J. H. Burrows. Benfleet Urban Council acquired Solbys ——- where the late Mr. J. H. Burrows J.P., C.A. resided for many years—and the grounds, consisting of about 9 ½ acres, for £3,700. One of the fields is already used for cricket, and it is the intention to lay out the bulk of the remaining land for games. The use to which the house is to be put has yet to be decided. Mrs. Burrows, who was accompanied by Mr. Roland Burrows, K.C., and Mrs. Roland Burrows, Dr. Arthur Burrows, and Mr. R. T. F. Burrows, unveiled the board which bears the name of the ground. . The Chairman of the Council (Mr. H. R. Tutt, J.P) paid tribute to the work of the late Ald. John Burrows, the whole of whose life, he said, was devoted to the service of his fellow men.
