| We were recently sent a
picture of a Thurrock Motor Club car badge that
had been found at a car boot sale. The outline
and the spokes are chrome. The tree is presumably
"Thor's Oak" - an image often
associated with Thurrock based on an incorrect
interpretation of the place name. We were asked whether we know anything about it and whether could we provide some more information? Well, no we didn't and couldn't. Car badges are often associated with the 1930s and 1950s. But we have never come across this badge or seen any mention of the Thurrock Motor Club. We wondered if it could have something to do with a firm selling cars. Does anyone out there recognise the badge or know anything about the club? Have you seen a badge like this before? Were you ever a member of the Thurrock Motor Club, or do you know someone who was? We'd love to here from you. Any comments by e-mail to chairman@Thurrock-history.org.uk |
