Southend-on-Sea Ambleside Drive looking West 2008
Typical of housing in the local area built in the late 1920s. Most are three or four bedroomed semi-detached houses. A few bungalows were also built at this time and can be seen on the left. The Shoeburyness to London Fenchurch Street railway line runs behind the houses on the right.

Southend-on-Sea: Riviera Drive looking West 2008
This is a view looking west from the junction at the eastern end with the railway line that runs between London Fenchurch Street and Shoeburyness on the left. These terraced houses are typical of those built in the late nineteenth century. I was brought up in this area until I married in my early twenties. Most back gardens are about twenty five feet long.

Southend-on-Sea Alleyway between Dalmatia Road and Chinchilla Road looking North North-West
A typical back alley between two streets of terraced houses. Most of the properties in this area are late Victorian two- and three-bedroomed small terraced houses. I grew up in a three-bed house in one of these streets, the house being built in 1897.

Southend-on-Sea: Huntingdon Road north of Woodgrange Drive looking North
These properties are typical of the eastward expansion of Southend-on-Sea in the late 1920s. Most houses are semi-detached with houses on the right and bungalows on the left. Many of these homes were built by local builder Southend Estates and benefit from large rear gardens of 60-80 feet in length and parking to the front.

Southend-on-Sea: Woodgrange Close Level Crossing looking West to Southend East Station 2008
This is a view from a pedestrian level crossing looking west. The line is the railway between London Fenchurch Street and Shoeburyness. We are looking towards Fenchurch Street. The bridge just visible in the distance is part of Southend East station. On a safety note, the photograph was taken on a day when there were no trains running because of engineering works.
