Southend-on-Sea is a comparatively modern town. Its origins date to
only the eighteenth century, but its geographical spread
encompasses six historic parishes: Prittlewell, Southchurch, Leigh,
Eastwood, South Shoebury and North Shoebury, whose existence goes
back a further 1,100 years to at least the seventh century. Hidden
within Southend's modern sprawl of predominantly nineteenth and
twentieth-century streets, and often overlooked by visitors and
residents alike, are a number of historic buildings that have
survived from those former days and predate the modern town. In
Southend In 50 Buildings Ian Yearsley delves into the town's past
to locate, record and discuss Southend's most interesting buildings
from the seventh century to the twenty-first century. Parish
churches, manor houses, pubs, homes, agricultural structures,
entertainment venues and office blocks all feature in this fully
illustrated book which, for the first time ever, attempts a full
list, in chronological order, of Southend's oldest buildings.
