The 'Southend Memories' page will give everyone the opportunity to learn a little bit more more about life in our town, and invite contributions all of our readers.
They don't have to be novels! A few paragraphs can provide a lot of information, jog memories and provide a snapshot of 'pre-nanny-state' days in general and working environments of years gone by. We shall add more categories as and when required.
