Prittlewell: Roots Hall Avenue

Up until around 1900 Prittlewell was just a small village, quite separate from Southend. But between then and the start of the First World War, housing development infilled the gap and Prittlewell was swallowed up into the urban sprawl of Southend. Roots Hall Avenue, with its terraced houses without front gardens, at the back of what was subsequently to become the football ground of Southend United, would have been an early development in this period.
