Southend-on-Sea has gone through many transformations since its
birth in the Middle Ages when a settlement of farmers and fishermen
was established at the southernmost end of the lands of Prittlewell
Priory. Having acquired the name 'South End', the area changed when
the Lord of the Manor in the eighteenth century had a 'New Town'
built along the cliffs to the west. The arrival of the railway in
the mid-nineteenth century, and the subsequent influx of seaside
day trippers, boosted Southend's popularity and it quickly expanded
into a large and bustling town. In this fascinating photographic
history, Ken Crowe takes a fond look at his home town, exploring
the changes to its streets through carefully chosen snapshots of
Southend-on-Sea as it was in the past and is today.
