We gotta get out of this place...
...if it's the last thing we ever do. All of these were at the side of one block of flats on Elm Road and I thought it was mildly amusing. Chav heaven.

South-western lake, Friars Park, North Shoebury
The two lakes in Friars Park were until 1976 brick pits. 20,000 years ago the gravels of the area were covered with windblown silt or brickearth and from the mid-C19 North Shoebury and nearby Great Wakering became a centre for brickmaking. The last brickworks closed in 2005 and were in Star Lane just to the north of this point.

The Old Red House, Shoeburyness, Essex
A famous local landmark, this cottage was built in 1637. It stands on the junction of Wakering Road and Blackgate Road. Supposedly a secret tunnel was built beneath the road during WW2 to ferry troops to and from the seafront. It is said the tunnel ended in the raised area on Rampart Terrace which has now been tarmaced over. There are lots of old wives' tales like this in Shoebury, mostly to do with the MOD. Email if you can shed light on this one.

The Red House, Shoeburyness
Quite different to anything surrounding it, this brick-built house on Wakering Road dates from around 1673 and is grade II listed. According to local legend, a tunnel runs from here to the sea shore that might have been used for smuggling or moving troops in the Second World War. See also Image
