Southend-on-Sea is a comparatively modern town. Its origins date to only the eighteenth century, but its geographical spread encompasses six historic parishes: Prittlewell, Southchurch, Leigh, Eastwood, South Shoebury and North Shoebury, whose existence goes back a further 1,100 years to at least the seventh century.Hidden within Southend’s modern sprawl of predominantly nineteenth and twentieth-century streets, and often overlooked by visitors and residents alike, are a number of historic buildings that have survived from those former days and predate the modern town.In Southend In 50 Buildings Ian Yearsley delves into the town’s past to locate, record and discuss Southend’s most interesting buildings from the seventh century to the twenty-first century. Parish churches, manor houses, pubs, homes, agricultural structures, entertainment venues and office blocks all feature in this fully illustrated book which, for the first time ever, attempts a full list, in chronological order, of Southend’s oldest buildings.

Dedham, Flatford and East Bergholt are most famous today for their connections with John Constable whose father owned the mills at Dedham and Flatford. Many of his paintings depict scenes at these three places or the River Stour, which weaves between them to the sea and which played an important part in the development of the early settlements.

Rayleigh owes its origins to the flints on Hambro Hill, which attracted its first human residents as long ago as the Stone Age. In Saxon times the focus moved to the area covered by the modern High Street, but it was not until Rayleigh Castle was built under the Normans that the town really came to life. Its market and fair made it one of the principal towns in south-east Essex throughout the medieval period, and many significant historic buildings from the 14th century onwards survive. After a period of decline in the 18th and early 19th centuries the town's importance revived with the coming of the railway in 1889. Rapid development followed, and the 20th century saw massive expansion beyond the High Street area. This book is the first full chronological history of Rayleigh to be written and sheds light on several poorly documented periods, including the first half of the 20th century. A wide selection of splendid, previously unpublished, illustrations enhances this welcome addition to the bookshelves of Rayleigh residents and local historians alike.

Southend has a complex and surprisingly interesting history. From 18th-century origins as the "South End" of Prittlewell Parish, it has grown over 300 years to swallow up six separate parishes: Prittlewell, Southchurch, Leigh, Eastwood, North Shoebury, and South Shoebury. The town and wider borough are both now known as "Southend." Starting in the Stone Age, this history ends in the modern information age, covering all points in between. The story of its evolution as a seaside resort, a commuter town, and a regional shopping center is unterwoven with a multitude of amusing, intriguing, and impressive events, incidents, and achievements in this very readable narrative. Southend has been unfairly maligned as "lacking much history." This new book successfully demolishes that suggestion, revealing a wealth of interest in the town and its pastfrom Prittlewell’s Saxon origins to its important role in two world wars. It will be warmly welcomed throughout Essex.
