This was how Hamlet Court Road, Westcliff (seen here) was known in the earlier part of the C20. When the photograph was taken the only evidence of the street's illustrious past was Havens, a department store which had specialised in domestic glassware and ceramics since its foundation in 1901. But this too was closed, in 2017.
