Councillor and Mrs. Munday and their two daughters lived in The Hollies in 1930. My mother was a great friend of Joan, the elder daughter.
We used to go round for afternoon tea with the family in the front room, which is now Dr. Lester’s surgery.
In the summer months there would be garden parties in the large back garden. The photo shows Joan fooling around at one of these.

Further to my previous comment, and speaking to my mother, I think there must have been two “The Hollies” within a short distance of each other.
My maternal great-grandfather, Hazael Charles Lewis owned and lived at The Hollies, Kiln Road, Thundersley. He had a nursery alongside and behind the house, with the business being “H.C.Lewis” nursery/gardener. His brother, Frank Loft Lewis also worked there. When Hazael died in 1922 his widow, Alice (nee Blanks) ran the business until the children had grown up. Mum says she thinks it was then sold to “Mummeries.” It is now a housing estate.
