Towerfield Close, Shoeburyness
Towerfield Close is a road on the Towerfield Industrial Estate. The name 'Towerfield' derives (I think) from the tower beneath which railway locomotives were supplied with coal at the nearby Shoeburyness motive power depot. This arrangement ceased when the line was electrified in 1962 but the extensive depot still survives just behind the buildings on the left.

Shoebury: Former Palace Cinema
Built in 1913, the Palace Cinema was hugely popular with the soldiers of the nearby Shoebury Garrison, but the last film was shown in the 1960s. It then became a camping equipment shop, Shoebury Outdoor Leisure, which itself closed early in 2008. The building and its site are now reputedly owned by a company whose intention is to construct residential flats on the site. However there is local opposition to this, and many, fronted by the jazz trumpeter Digby Fairweather, would like to see the building saved.
In the meantime a buddleia grows uncannily in the dead centre of the front façade.
On a different geographical note entirely, if you follow the arterial A13 trunk road out of London for its entire length, it ends in the front of the cinema, here on Ness Road.
On another Geographical note the Ordnance Survey's 1:10,000 scale mapping shows that the 185000 metre northern gridline runs through the centre of the front façade of the building and exits through the middle of the right hand side.
