Billericay contains Billericay School, Mayflower High School and St John's School.
Mill Meadows is a 90 local Nature Reserve near the centre of Billericay one of the finest ancient meadow systems in Essex. Centuries of grazing have created the ideal conditions for a wonderful diversity of wild flowers, fungi, insects and invertebrates, many of which are very rare.

A busy late afternoon at Romford on the Great Eastern Mainline on a Friday afternoon.
Romford info:
Romford railway station is an interchange station on the Great Eastern Main Line, serving the town of Romford in the London Borough of Havering, east London. It is 12 miles 30 chains (19.9 km) down the line from London Liverpool Street and is situated between Chadwell Heath and Gidea Park. It is also the northern terminus of a branch line to Upminster operated by London Overground. Its three-letter station code is RMF and it is in Travelcard Zone 6.
The station is currently managed by TfL Rail. The majority of services call at Romford as part of the Shenfield-Liverpool Street metro service operated by TfL Rail, but the station is also served by off-peak Abellio Greater Anglia trains to and from Southend Victoria and Colchester Town.
In the future the TfL Rail service will be re-branded as the Elizabeth line as part of the Crossrail project. Eventually, the Elizabeth line service will be extended beyond Liverpool Street to Paddington and onwards to Reading and Heathrow Airport.
History:
The first Romford station, located to the west of Waterloo Road, opened on 20 June 1839 as the eastern terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway from Mile End. Both stations acted as temporary termini, with the line extending east to Brentwood and west to Bishopsgate (Low Level) in 1840. In 1844, the station was relocated to its current position, some 400m east of the original and at about this time, the gauge of the ECR was changed from 5' (1,524 mm) to standard gauge of 4 ft 8 1⁄2 (1,435 mm). On 7 June 1893 the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway opened a second station in Romford, on a branch line to Upminster. The two stations were combined in 1934.
In May 2015 the Upminster branch Iine transferred from Abellio Greater Anglia to London Overground and the regular Shenfield metro service transferred to TfL Rail.
Accidents and incidents:
On 29 December 1944, one person was killed and three were injured when, in darkness and heavy fog, a Chelmsford-London service passed two signals at danger on the approach to Romford and ran into the rear of a stationary freight train. The passenger train's speed at the moment of impact was about 15 mph. One crew member on the goods train was killed instantly. The Chelmsford train driver was held responsible for the collision in a Ministry of War Transport report.
On 4 February 2010, two people standing on the platforms at Romford were injured when a quantity of stone ballast was shed from a freight train passing through the station. Subsequent examination found that the train wagon's doors had not been properly closed when it departed from the goods yard at Acton, west London, bound for Ipswich.
Services:
The majority of services are currently operated by TfL Rail which runs the stopping metro route between Liverpool Street and Shenfield. Greater Anglia also operates medium-distance services between Liverpool Street and destinations in the East of England, while London Overground runs the half-hourly push and pull service between Romford and Upminster.
The typical off-peak Monday to Saturday service from Romford is:
8 trains per hour (tph) to London Liverpool Street, of which:
6 call at all stations (TfL Rail),
2 call at Stratford and Liverpool Street (Greater Anglia);
6 tph to Shenfield, calling at all stations (TfL Rail);
2 tph to Upminster, calling at all stations (London Overground);
1 tph to Southend Victoria calling at Shenfield then all stations (Greater Anglia);
1 tph to Colchester Town calling at Shenfield, Chelmsford, Witham, then all stations (Greater Anglia).
In 2017 new Class 345 trains began entering service as Crossrail partially opened. Platforms 2 to 5 will be extended from their current length of between 179 metres (196 yd) and 182 metres (199 yd) to accommodate the Crossrail trains which will be over 200 metres (220 yd) long once extended to nine carriages. New lifts, signage, help points, customer information screens and CCTV will also be installed.
Connections:
London Buses routes 5, 66, 86, 103, 128, 165, 174, 175, 193, 247, 248, 252, 294, 296, 347, 365, 370, 375, 496, 498, 499, 647, 648, 649, 650, 651, 674 and 686 and night routes N15 and N86 and LSP route 575 all serve the station.

Shaun of the Dead Filming Locations, Crouch End, 3/11/2012
This is footage of the filming locations in Crouch End where part of the iconic 2004 film 'Shaun of the Dead' was filmed, in North East London. In this video you can see Shaun's house, and then the walk across the road to his local supermarket where he buys a cornetto and diet coke. Apologies for looking down at the ground for a lot of this video but I didn't want people to be thinking I was filming them directly. The filming location is Weston Park in the London Borough of Haringey, and the house is on the corner of Nelson Road/Weston Park. The name of the shopkeeper in the film is 'Nelson', so I presume this may have been taken from the road name. This was filmed on 3rd November 2012 on my iPhone 4.
