Bridge Cottages, North Shoebury

These cottages situated at right-angles to the railway are one of the few remaining reminders of how North Shoebury looked before becoming intensively developed from the 1980s onwards. I'm uncertain as to whether they were built for employees at the nearby Shoeburyness locomotive depot or for brickfield or farmworkers.
