Heath House, Victoria Avenue
Formerly Coleman House, Heath House dates from the early 1960s and is in a similar state of dereliction to Carby House (right). It was last occupied by C E Heath Insurance until the 1990s and has been empty ever since. Given that Heath House is almost opposite Southend Police Station it should be possible to work out what the 'F T P' graffiti stands for.

Carby House, Victoria Avenue
Carby House (right) was built in 1963 at a time when it was intended that Southend would become a regional office centre. Closed now for some time, it is today in a sorry state and its future is uncertain. Heath House (left) is in a similar state of dereliction.
