Eastwood Boulevard Post Office
The block, apparently called The Corner House, also has a hairdressers and picture framers. The last has an extraordinary trading name: 'The Pouch of Douglas'. This is an internal feature of female anatomy between the rectum and the uterus - why that name?

Preserved Bus at Eastwood Boulevard
Taken in April 1973, this photo shows 55 (EHO 228) a 1942 Guy Arab II with Reading 56-seater bodywork built in 1955 in Eastwood Boulevard on a tour of Southend-on-Sea's former trolleybus system. This location was worked by routes 28A/B which went via London Road, Nelson Road and Fairfax Drive until the closure of the trolleybus system on the 28th October 1954. This vehicle was owned by Provincial (Gosport & Fareham Omnibus Co.Ltd) but is now preserved. The buildings behind the vehicle have since been demolished.

No question in what era these flats were built! (The bike is a 1973 Carlton Corsa one not so careful owner!)
