Wonderful to look back and see what Southend was like, thank you

Nothing much gets made about my hometown Southend on YouTube but this is brilliant and shows where the town (soon to be city) has changed for better or worse

[johnmh]

I was born and bred in Southend - Thank you, this brings so memories back.

What a great video, I remember some of those pictures. I couldn’t believe it when the date went back over 100 years, why do we believe progress is best. Well done in the video production

My old home town, Southend-On-Mud, but I loved it. So many memories. A lemon sorbet ice cream from Rossis, down to the seafront, watching the pit and the pendulum, a quick paddle, tide allowing, then off to the go karts to spend all my pocket money. I could have been the next Hamilton in the day. If time allowed, along to Leigh-On-Sea for a bowl of cockles with plenty of vinegar and pepper. Oh happy days! Congrats on the City status!*! 😀 (Thanks for the Share and bringing the memories back!) 💗

I left Southend back in 1964 to live in Spain. On the few visits back in the UK I found myself lost. The High Street, and Pier completely changed. This video has been an eye opener to all the changes over the decades and centuries.

Its quite fascinating to see how time has changed Southend. Not much for the better it appears. If only the Pier was half as resplendent. Great work Thank you.

What a brilliant well made little video of Southend.

I lived in Southend all my life - only recently moved out.
Great video, shame the high street is pretty much dead but I still love the place, so many great memories .

As someone who spent a lot of time in the highstreet and adventure island as a child and has recently moved to Shoeburyness this is fascinating!!

[AllOuttaBubblegum]

I remember the little steam train that went around the pond by the seafront.

[samdube]

Amazing video! Thank you fro the time and effort poured into it

[konstanting]

Brilliant video!
I live here and never gonna move.

What a lovely town Southend used to be, it's disgraceful what the council have been allowed to do to it. There is some fantastic images, certainly brings back found memories spending my childhood along the seafront. Well put together video.

Used to go there in the mid 60s summer time with the pub darts team as mods getting hammered, going to the Kursall fun fair and fighting greasers(Rockers) in Essex on the trip home

[kathyswearingen]

Very interesting with good graphics too!

[paulcresswell]

It would be interesting for you to travel forward in time and imagine how these places will look in the years to come.

Ay I remember living near here, going to the pier for days out, that was fun

I'd prefer any of them rather than 2021
