The Southend Society

I have a deep and abiding interest in preserving the best of Southend-on-Sea’s rich architectural heritage. This does not make all new development wrong, much of which is commendable (although, much is ugly and insubstantial), but it is an acknowledgement that once gone, historical treasures cannot be resuscitated, summoned from the dead; no phoenix is possible post wrecking-ball.

I have just joined the Southend Society, and hope that I can assist in keeping alive those special bits of Southend-on-Sea’s past, much of which falls within the Milton ward that I represent.
