Geocache Description:

Pilgrims Hatch is a residential suburb in the borough of Brentwood in Essex, England. There is a borough council ward bearing the name Pilgrims Hatch which covers the Bishops Hall and 'Flowers' Estates (the urban area north of the A12) and a small rural area to the North up to Ashwells Road and Days Lane.

Pilgrims Hatch literally means Pilgrims Gate (with Hatch being derived from the Old English form of haecc) and, until recently, local schools used a large farmers gate as a symbol of the area. While no longer common it is still the semi-official symbol of the village.

Although population development may have been quite late, Pilgrims Hatch was home to a critical part of early communications infrastructure with Cable and Wireless having a substantial telegraph radio receiving station built on the junction of Hatch Road and Doddinghurst Road in 1921 (with the associated transmitting station in nearby Ongar). During World War II this site was considered sufficiently important in the war effort that substantial air defences were also constructed around it. Although some buildings from the site remained early into the 21st century it has now been transfomed into housing development and an extension to Bishops Hall Park.

The coordinates shown above are for a nearby car park in Bishops Hall Park.
