Spot on John, Southend Pier it is. I last walked it in 2018. I have relos in the area. Your turn Essex Boy, lol.   I was born in Colchester but left there as a baby to Gibraltar - Army family, thence Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia in 66. That is 1966, NOT 1866 I was no convict, lol.

The pair of you should get a part in Eastenders, of for a night at the Kursaal.lol😅😜

 Yes we where stay there, we where upgraded to a corner suite for the night, great room.

I stayed there in Dec 2019 and watched Norwegian Jewel arrive although she berthed at the other wharf. 

I recognised the wall with the "graffiti" on it 😉

You missed mentioning the cockles and whelks, candy floss and honeycomb, not to mention Kiss me quick hats and the lovely stone beach. 😂

We stayed there long ago, 2009 when it was the Copthorne, and had a great view of Volendam one day, then Diamond Princess prior to boarding. I was looking at the hotel recently, and I thought the decor was a bit scary. It was a great spot when we stayed there.
