The Waters Edge development was launched in 2014 with the first residents moving in about two years later. This is all in stark contrast to how the area was when it was the site of the former Star Lane brickworks. Hence the names - Sandy Crescent, Kiln Way and Brick Road - of the new roads. Geographs including Image and Image show how the area used to look. Taken on the corner of Star Lane and Sandy Crescent. "Waters Edge" refers not to the beaches of nearby Southend but to some flooded claypits at the end of Sandy Crescent.
