So do I!!! Left in 1977 aged 7 but exactly how I remember it....Good times had every Summer...and back then, it seemed you got a "proper" Summer EVERY YEAR between May and September....Remember the plagues of Ladybirds in the Summer of '76 which absolutely covered EVERYTHING!!!
Wonderful that the Council have kept the old girl going: Fair play to them. I’m in Norfolk now but hoping to see the lovely new trains soon. Incredible that they’ve used the old trains as seating areas! Southend-on- Sea - still the place to be!
Wonderful Southend, we will never see times like that again!
Yes there will. If you make them happen.
What a little gem!! The film and the pier.
