The London Tilbury and Southend Railway reached Southend in 1856 but the extension to Shoeburyness was not completed until 1884. This is the very end of the line with a c2c service headed by unit number 357008 just having arrived from London Fenchurch Street. From a Geograph aspect there are several other images taken from this viewpoint but all placed, wrongly in my opinion, in Image The Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 scale map clearly shows that the first forty metres or so of trackwork are clearly in this square.
