Re: Local; List SPD
Great Brays Fruit Farm
Brays Lane

In response to your invitation to provided suggestions for additions to the Local List of interesting buildings I wondered if you might consider the above mentioned farm house. It is not particularly old being constructed in the early 1950s, but it is true to the integrity of vernacular Essex architecture. It was designed by the architect David Rodney Burles of Burles & Newton, Southend and commissioned by the then owner Mr and Mrs Bull. The property was bequeathed to their son but I regret to say that I do not know the current owners, although we have tried to find out and make contact.
David Rodney Burles has designed several churches in the area of Southend together with additions to two Cathedrals. He was the son of David Henry Burles, also an architect and artist who lived and worked in Southend. He was killed in a bombing raid on Southend and because of his lifelong connections with the Essex Yeomanry was buried with full military honours, the coffin being carried on a horse drawn gun carriage through the High Street in Southend with a full military regimental escourt. Henry like Rodney had designed several public building in Essex.
I trust that should you consider Great Brays Farm of significant interest you will add it to the Local List.
