Whatever happened to those?

The Essex Showground used to be just down the road from here, but the site got taken to build Chelmsford racecourse, and AFAIK the show got scrapped rather than moved. The last time I went was 1984, but in the 70s the Scouts had the job of selling programmes and catalogues, so that was a good opportunity to ask for a day off school and have a day out.

Still going one county to the north - it's the Suffolk Show on Wednesday & Thursday

One year the Essex Show was a quagmire. A few weeks later, our Mini kept boiling over whilst on holiday in the Lake District, and it turned out that the front nearside wheel spinning in the clag at the show had coated the radiator core with a solid crust of mud. (Mini radiators vent into the wheel arch.)
