Even just 20 years back, everything seemed so ordered and 'proper', not like today's shambles.

I remember the high street looking like that, just seemed much nicer then. I also remember fishing on the pier that summer and it was hot. Southend just seems so gloomy now like all the hope has escaped, maybe it's just me or maybe it's just Britain in the 21st century.

What has SBC done to Southend since those glory days? banned airshows, banned seafront bike shows, ruined the High Street, taken away seafront parking, ruined pier hill and driven the day trippers away, oh they must be bloody proud.

Hi there, we've been enjoying watching this. (especially as we make walks in soulful cities and have just filmed in in Leigh on sea and Southend), so it's lovely to see the contrast. It's also our home town. Thanks for taking the time to add it.

If you visit southend after a sunny bank holiday it closely resembles Glastonbury with the amount of debris left behind. Many yrs ago people had far more respect and took rubbish home. Camera's & hard nosed traffic wardens seem to be an issue too , so I'm told.

@merlin5476 27 күн бұрын

There was an Izod shop in the early 70's i think along southchurch rd / ave. I dad bought me a pair of old flying goggles from there. Its a block of flats now. I'm not sure if its the same izod family that still has a hardware shop along southchurch rd .
