Other Stuff in Brentwood, Essex*

Brentwood, Essex Stuff You Don't Get Anywhere Else

The Stuff We Can't Fit In Somewhere Else

• Why has Brentwood got more cycle paths or buses to encourage use of other modes of transport and a more imaginative set of bus routes, I can't even get to nearby Hornchurch or Upminster by public transport directly! A pedestrianised high street like in Romford, Ilford and Chelmsford!
• Need to do something about the lack of facilities for teenagers in Brentwood. They're too young to get in pubs, but too old for youthclubs, etc. Need to have more organised events for them. We used to have the Keys Hall and Stondon Massey discos and they were excellent. They were always supervised and no booze was sold but it kept us all of the streets once every 2 weeks and gave you somewhere to meet up with your mates without causing people hassle.
• PLaces to avoid the pre-pubescents - OUTSIDE MCDONALDS!!! Actually, standing outside anywhere seems to appeak to them.......
• Do they still show that Gidea Park Typewriters at the cinema ??? I don't know, I left in 1989, but it had done at least 20 years service by then.
• guffaw comedy club - every 2nd wednesday at "the hermit" in shenfield road. its brilliant!
• I HATE JACOB SCHORR! COME ON THEN JACOB..........WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT THAT THEN???!!!
• The teen boys r gorgeous!!!
• There's a really good local video shop called "The Penny Farthing" along Chelmsford Road. It just goes to show that you don't need a large, unpersonalised video shop to do the business!
• If your a gothic, or a biker, or punk (basically anything but a trendy) please come to the castle.... We will claim it back!
• CHURCHES Brentwood Baptist Church - Kings Road. Services 10.30am and 6.30pm. All welcome

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
