The finishing touches are being applied to a historical book tracing the past of a Billericay school.

Author, Sylvia Kent, has spent more than a year compiling pictures and accounts for the historical story of Billericay School.

More than 200 pictures have been collected and she has spoken to dozens of former and current teachers and pupils.

The writer from Beaufort Road, has also published three other books about local life, including Billericay Voices, Pictorial History of Brentwood plus Brentwood Voices and is looking forward to finally finishing the book after so much hard work.
