Description
The collection comprises 351 35mm black and white negatives, with corresponding contact prints, taken by former Ministry of Works Buildings Inspector J Malcolm Scott in the 1970s. Scott specialised in secular buildings in East Anglia, and the collection reflects this specialism. The images primarily show vernacular buildings including houses, shops, public houses, and farmhouses, in Essex and Cambridgeshire. Many, but not all, of the buildings shown are listed.
The first series, containing images relating to the Unitary District of Basildon, Essex, comprises 144 images, covering Basildon, Wickford, Nevendon, Ramsden Crays, Great and Little Burstead, Dunton, Billericay, Laindon, Bowers Gifford, Pitsea, and Great Chalvedon.
The second series, covering the County Borough of Southend-on-Sea, comprises 80 images, covering Eastwood, Leigh, Leigh Hill, North and South Shoebury, Prittlewell, Southchurch, and Southend.
The third series, containing 68 images, covers Burnham on Crouch.
The fourth series containing 59 images covers various locations in Cambridgeshire, including Wimpole, Guilden Morden, Foxton, Steeple Morden, Abington Piggotts, Weston Colville, Linton, Horseheath, Whittlesford, Shepreth, and Gamlingay.
