Heritage Notice Boards

Next time you are visiting the High Street why not take a look at the 2 Heritage Notice boards; one outside the WORKS and one by the Millennium clock at Mann's corner).

These are regularly changed and show pictures of Bygone Rayleigh.

If there is a theme you would like to see displayed (Rayleigh Schools/clubs) just let us know and we can arrange.

The photos are normally changed every month so always an idea to have a look.
