Looking for treasure in Chafford Hundred
Chafford Hundred, I kept seeing those words in emails and I kept thinking, what is it? rather than, where is it? We met at Chaffered Hundred it felt like a Russian out-post in the sideways rain and ice wind. We sheltered in a Tescos and bought 'reduced-price' sandwiches. It felt grim. Past Ikea was the warehouse which holds the old BBC control room from the Queen Elizabeth Hall, staircases and plant room equipment and other treasures. We spent three hours unpacking stuff, measuring and identifying what was treasure to us and what was boring. Best find.... a large box or box frame....with a handle...we pulled the handle to reveal a fold-down seat. There was a ticket from 1974 in the seat and the seat number was T1, which is an ushers seat.It was beautiful.
I discovered that my attention span is much shorter than Sal's and Andrew's....I tend to drift off in a dream after a couple of hours...I did the same the next day...good to know!Then back on trains to London and chats over pizza and beers to shape the exhibition.
