I chat to Ken Porter on a bright July morning, all about his recent local history books, 'Basildon Famous People Volume 2', 'Poems and a Brief History of Laindon and Surrounding District', and 'Joan Rosaire and Wonder Horse, Goldy'.  Ken is also the Chairman of the Basildon Borough Heritage Group and Web based Laindon & District Community Archive.
