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.
