Public Footpath - You Have Been Warned!
The footpath between Great Wakering and the seawall is closed during the week when firing takes place on the army ranges. When, as today, the path is open, walkers are warned of the dangers by an array of notices.

Great Wakering: Cupid's Corner: Victoria Drive
Most of the housing development at Cupid's Corner has been post-war, but Victoria Drive was the first estate road to be built and is certainly shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1938.

Overgrown railway track near Cupid's Corner
The military area to the east of Shoeburyness was once served by an extensive internal railway system constructed in the late C19 and early C20. The line crossed here is one of the extensions made between 1906-25 and ran across the firing ranges as far as the north shore of Havengore Island. Although the tracks still remain in situ, it would appear that they have not had any trains on them for many years. The path over the level crossing here is the Cupids Chase footpath.
