This and a similar column nearby have recently appeared in the locality. Each celebrates the former brickmaking activities for which the area was once noted. The bricks used here were made from hand-processed clay extracted at Southchurch Park East nearby. The plaque reads: "From brickmaking to seafaring, Southend is a precarious working landscape".
