Plas Newydd, Southend

Despite its name this is not a suburban road in Wales. For many years I've wondered why this street in Southend was so named but am still none the wiser. The turning that can just be made out near the far end is the equally oddly-named Capadocia Street. Taken from Shaftesbury Avenue looking towards the estuary.
