Co-op Buys Baddow Road Garage
October 2012
Brothers Chris and Peter Jones have sold their garage in Baddow Road to Chelmsford Star Co-op for £2 million. The garage has been in the Jones family since 1958 when it was started up by their father Bill.
Bill Jones came from Caterham, Surrey where he ran a milk distribution company but wanted to use his Royal Navy marine engineering skills so bought the garage in Baddow Road, near the junction with Beehive Lane. He expanded the business to run the Opel (later Vauxhall) dealership with his sons in Gloucester Avenue, Moulsham Lodge which was later sold to John Pease.
The Co-op will continue to run Texaco petrol and expand the produce on offer in the convenience store.
Chris Jones, aged 65, has moved to Cumbria and is buying a village store and post office to run with his wife Jane.

New Great Baddow Book Published
August 2012
A former Great Baddow student has finally seen her book about the village published - 50 years after it was written. Christine Goldstone, nee Steele, (pictured below) wrote 'The Study of Great Baddow' back in the 1960's but her work remained unpublished until local historian Allen Buckroyd became involved.
Allen typed up the handwritten study for the Great Baddow archives and the book is now published and on sale for £10. The book is also available at the library. For further information on how to buy a copy of the book please contact Christine at: christine.goldstone@blueyonder.co.uk.
