I grew up on the Five Links Estate in Laindon from 1977 to 2002 (Handley Green), although it has a bit of a reputation these days, it was, and always will be my home. With each visit something else changes, so I have created this little montage as a reminder of what the estate looks like now. I might do another one in a few years time so I can compare how much has changed.
It's sad that Brendon, Handley Green and Laindon Link no longer exist by name, and I am sure it'll only be a matter of time before the remaining 'links' ; Newberry Side, Mellow Purgess and Somercotes cease to exist. Laindon as a whole is changing so much (and not for the better may I just add).
