I am not sure if this car park by Hamlet Court Rd counts as being in Prittlewell or Westcliff however today volunteers and community officers of the Essex (& Southend-on-Sea ) Constabulary were undertaking a crime prevention scheme issuing free UV security marker pens. From 1914 until 1969 the Borough of Southend-on-Sea had an independent police force.. I remember as a child seeing the Sergeants wearing white helmets. Five years after the merger with Essex Police the “and Southend-on-Sea" was dropped from the official title of the force. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southend-on-Sea_Borough_Police
