Shoeburyness: Waterloo Road
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 3 Aug 2008
Waterloo Road is in Cambridge Town. Nowadays Cambridge Town merges into the built-up area of Thorpe Bay and the rest of the conurbation of Southend-on-Sea, but looking at old Ordnance Survey maps of the Victorian period the isolation of the settlement and its role in providing accommodation to civilian workers for the military garrison at Shoeburyness is quite evident. Waterloo Road does not appear in the Ordnance Survey map of 1898 although the next street to the south, once Grove Road, but now Chelmer Road, is shown.
