Cherry blossom and telephone exchange

The southern end of the large Telephone Exchange in Bradleigh Avenue, Grays, near the junction with Orsett Road and Bridge Road. Work began on this treasure of a New Elizabethan building c. 1956 and and was completed in 1957. A number of cherry trees, still providing spectacular blossom each spring, were planted at that time.
