The Southend area is steeped in history far older than the town itself and more interesting than the potted histories you find with cursory glances at your favourite search engines and local sites. We are slowly adding published articles and our own essays on local history to this section to try to give the subject the coverage it merits. Please enjoy the pages offered here and feel free to get in touch if you have anything interesting to add. We also have our ever growing collection of images in the gallery here at Southchurch Village and you may be interested in visiting some of the many websites that we have listed together here covering local history of varying depth and local images both past and present.

If anyone would like to contribute anything which may be of interest to the community here, please feel free to contact us.
