This is Southend-on-sea.. our nearest seaside resort, one of the most popular in the country. It's just 1/2 hour from here and where my o/h was born and raised. of course it's changed a lot over the years and gone through hills and troughs, a place where decades ago people took a weeks' holiday there , and now it's almost entirely day trippers, but overall it's a place where millions of visitors have a special little place in their heart for...
It's split into 2 parts. The main Beach , promenade and entertainment area is Southend -on-sea.. and just a mile or so along the promenade is the tiny fishing hamlet of Old leigh, with popular seafood restaurants and pubs, and where all the fresh fish mainly shellfish is caught, and cooked freshly ...and one little tiny ''high street' with old cottages in one of which we owned many years ago... and millions, literally... visitors every year . It also has it's own big shopping parade above the seashore..
It's not big and fancy like resorts on the continent... but the British have always loved the British seasides, , even if we all go abroad for holidays nowadays, those who can't or don't like travel still enjoy time at the coast .... so the following are lots of random pictures which will mean much to the British members here , and not too much to anyone else .. but I hope you enjoy the pictures that I've taken on different days in different seasons and different times of the day ... !! These were almost all taken on my old camera, so not the best quality so, forgive me for that...
