Hi, I have replied earlier but being new to this technology!i don't know if you got my reply so sorry if I'm repeating.I lived at number 5 the Pleck from 1947 till I married in 1970.My family had always lived down the Pleck,there used to be row of cottages further down all empty when i was a child we used to play in and around them till we got caught!A scrap yard bought all the land where the cottages were called Fords Scrap yard.All the houses were demolished many years ago now and offices and other buildings are there,my friend and myself drove round there some years back,it's unrecognisable,if it wasn't for the railway bridge which was just before the Pleck we would have been lost. I have photos of there from when I was young, I wouldn't know how to send but when my son comes down i will see if he can do it for me.Happy days and happy memories.Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,
My great uncle’s wife lived at number 3 the Pleck before she got married in the 1920’s. Do you have a photo of the house/street as I would like to add it to my ancestry tree. Bob Dyer.

A long shot but has anyone got any photos and/or maps of The Pleck, Park Road, Hockley. I have found that my grandad was born there in 1919 and think left in August 1920. We have google searched and found Park Road but nothing particular for The Pleck. Any information at all would be good as I don’t know if I am looking for a house, area off Park Road or something else?
TIA

Hi just up from railway bridge on park road was a small terraced road just a walk through with ought a road but about 10 houses each side it was called the pleck ,then there were houses and a sweet shop up from the pleck sweet shop called the carbys Debbie carby was my friend at Benson rd school,opposite the pleck then there was the old engine public house ran by the Jenkins old man Maurice and wife Joan they had 4 or 5 children Shirley was in my class at Benson rd school but now the pleck has been knocked down as well as half the houses up to the engine pub but it changed hands about 1985 when it was turned into a worshipping place the pleck houses land was bought by the scrap metal company taronis shame ruined the area with metal lorries but good memories hope this helps u to put more a picture in your life on your grandad
