Has anyone apart from me noticed that on the "The Hits" channel, whenever they do that little bit of film where someone is walking and THE HITS appears in front of them, all those bits were filmed in Southend?
Despite several phone calls from the organisers of last Sunday's 10k race, Southend Council couldn't be bothered to unlock the main toilet block near the start. All I can say is thank God for the bushes in Southchurch Park.
The race attracted more than 2,000 runners, plus families and friends, many of whom would have stayed on to spend money in the town's restaurants, pubs and amusements – money that would have helped to pay the wages of whoever couldn't be bothered to get off his or her backside to open the toilets.
Wake up, Southend!
Phil Postings, Woodford Green
get us some wheely bins im fed up with foxes and cats ripping the nasty black sacks open, and clean the place up
The reason I am being so evil towards rude boy's and girls is all to obvious in todays society...would anyone like to tell me when a goth has 'started' on a rudey or 'beaten up' a rude boy?? the answer my friend is never. however, i am a 17 year old girl and I've been beaten up 3 times by rude boys, and raped right by my house because I told a group of rude boys to stop shouting at me....is this fair, no! I ont go into detail about what happened because I made a policeman throw up at the thought of it, but at the end of it all, it was over something as stupid as clothing and music......now my sister is a trendy. I love her to pieces and i wouldnt change her for the world, i even listen to her music with her, however as soon as I put my calm goth music (not the shouting metaler music), she looks at me like im not a sister, just a piece of crap and walks out the room or slaps me and tells me to put her music back on.
well, 1. i dont class trendy music as music, do you see a band playing in the back ground? no, they use a computer. if there is no instrumental input then it is not classed as music. and 2. I wear what i wear becuse I can feel comfortable wearing it, i dont have to follow a fashion just to feel good about myself. i wear my clothes for the same reason anyone else wears clothes, to stay covered up and to feel comortable when hanging out. so what if I wear black, what if I wore nothing but white? would i be any different?? no! So guess what, Im gonna keep wearing black, im gonna keep being a 'dirty grunger' (when infact im a very clean goth/vampiric) and Im gonna keep wearing black until they invent a darker colour god damn it!!!.......sorry, its been a while. ahem.
oh and one more thing, trendies keep being all against piercings, but so many have belly buttons and tounges done some even have madonna piercings! have you even seen punks, coz thats were it came from trendies!, yes your precious lil bars and rings came from alternative people, HA! couldnt think of anything to do so you stated to nick our themes did you? well who's the dirty grungers now?
the benches are quite kool, nice metalic ones. The millenium clock which is 3 minutes slow which spins round chiming at the wrong times (three chimes at 25 past 12, we found that wierd)
Yates is cheap but the Roebuck(rayleigh) is heaven
Southend could have been modernised, it is a seaside resort. Could have built a marina, or run some kind or water bus up the Thames. No it is a mass of arcades, I feel the council are out of touch.
go find the african shop its small but quaint. it does ornaments, insence, strange clothes and jewelry. i just love it for the numerous oils that u cant find ANYWHERE else.
Just like to say Hi! to all you fellow cruisers down the seafront (or anywhere), ho found this site by searching for keywords on Google:-
cars, Modified, Babes, Rims, Burnouts, Southend, Cruise, Cruisin', Race, PHAT, Stereo, Subs, Amps, Alloys, Spoilers, Rinsin', Lowered, Mad, NOS, nitrous, illegal, street, best, etc etc etc...
You will find in Southend that most of the locals are all really common.
Another thing is there are so many grungers/goths, rudeboys/girls and trendys. If you happend to be a grunger/goth southend is a great place to go to as there is a bench where all of them sit. Also a shop called OH YEAH! where they sell loadsa goth/grunger stuff, Like clothes jewellery and in the back in the over 16's area alot of stuff for the smokers
Yeah in theory southend is a nice place to live. However we all need to make a living & that is where southend has problems. As an Engineer I find that there just arent any hi-tec or engineering companies to work for. Just banks, shops, call centres and Insurance. That is why southend has such a weird flavour, oppression. The kind of work available is low paid, people are opressed. It is also in the top 10 dole towns in UK (bad place to be unemployed).
You may have noticed all the large building project going on around the town at the mo. Know where the money came from? Well we came in the bottom 5 in a EU table of deprived areas (in terms of opportunies income & living conditions). That is the bottom five in the WHOLE of Europe. That automatically qualified us for massive european funding for regeneration. So what are the council doing with it, move the train station, new pointless road in town centre, new big college (good) which allows the to be rid of the Asbestos laden liability of a building it replaces (odeon). I just hope that THIS college will offer some technical courses that are above the beginner level. Nuff said.
Check out my site once it's up and running! It WILL be www.southend-skaters.tk ONCE it's finished!
One for your famous people section - Vince Clarke of Depeche Mode, Yazoo and Erasure fame had a flat on Clifftown Parade.
Southend has one of the largest Occult populic in the UK. Go on try and find it .
ROLF HARRIS IF YOUR EVER IN THE AREA PUT ON A SHOW U R TRUELY LOVED, U CAN COME 4 TEA ASWELL!!!
To the person who could not remember Johnny (punk in Southend)- Johnny Anderson IS Wayne...tho why he changed his name when he went to America I do not know..Hope U R Well tho Johnny...
It is a custom among certain Southenders to yell "Pants!" at pedestrians from the comfort and security of their hurtling cars.
The guy who wrote that crap bout southend is out of it. if they didnt enjoy their time on "the bench" why stay there? if others do that is not their business. i would fill in the correction things. But there IS stuff to do in southend and I'm out to do them.
i think southend should have a skatebord park and more that one burgerking. Theres way to many mcdonalds for my liking
Metal Rules !!!!!
Three train stations near town, lots of buses, lots of big named shops, but no real descent clothes stores.
Famous person - Digby Fairweather. Best jazz musician ever! Used to be a mobile librarian at the Southend Library in the late 60's early 70's.
Southend Utd F.C. Why are they still in the 3rd Division?
Other:
I've noticed quite a few positive comments about Southend, and I'd like to add another. I've been to Southend four times (from the USA) and I will agree with the other American's comments that Southend is a quaint historical English seaside town. It reminds me a little of my boyhood spent in New Jersey on the seaside. The people that I've met were very nice, and I enjoyed visiting the Kursaal, the Pier, and the Bandstand. Yes, I've experienced Totts 2000 (which seemed no different from American pick-up bars/nightclubs), and I've been down to the High Street and the Seafront, ver interesting places. I've come back with quite a few Southend historical books (picture books then/now) and have visited Chalkwall, Leigh-on-Sea (Old Leigh), Shoeburyness, Westcliff, etc. I would definitely recommend Southend to any Americans who want to visit an English seaside town, and believe me, I'll be back again!
Enjoyed looking at the Knowhere site for Southend- it's a very great shame that this generally amusing and insightful view of the town had to be ruined by the stupid, homophobic comments about the Cliff Pub- whoever wrote it- what's your problem? You wouldn't be a closet case yourself would you- get OUT more- know what I mean- or at least open your mind up a bit, this is 1999, you know! and while you're there, maybe you could do something about your attitude to women as well???
Anyway, like Johnny Anderson back there I used to go and sit on 'Anarchy Hill' in the mid eighties with Polly, Slug, Pigeon (RIP), Wayne, Alice, The Vegan Barmy Army, Dicky Death, Mim, Sarah Punt, Sid, Wilf and all the rest of the Punks- I don't rember Johnny, Though- sorry!
I'm still here, there's lots going on in Southend when you look behind the superficial veneer of the shops, youth culture, pubs, etc... Lots of allotments and projects going on like a strong LETS (Local Exchange Trading System), Fresh Horizons- an eco-spiritual centre where various groups meet, permaculture courses are held, etc, and loads of other good people doing good stuff. OK, sometimes Southend is hard work in terms of any sort of alternative scene, which is why alot of people leave as soon as they are old enough, but to me that's the easy option- anyone can go to Bristol or Brighton where there are already strong alternative cultures- surely it's more important to stay where you are and change things, otherwise places like Southend will always be seen as no hope, end of the line places...
Cheers for now, Graham
Hi my name is Kenny Quinlan I live in the centre of southend and it was from
here that an event changed my life forever. I think its worth announcing,in
1983 I awoke at 3a.M.,Looked out of my tower block window and was confronted
with a massive ufo it was above Keddies and being on the eleventh floor at
the time I had almost a parell view, it was silver with rainbow coloured
lights around the perimeter what happened next was incredible, six balls of
light emerged from the ufo, and headed towards the Mod in Shoebruyness after
about 20 minutes they returned back into the craft,this was also witnessed
by two police officers from outside Pizza Hut. My wife Leslee was also a
a witness to this incredible event in Southend. This has also been televised
on cable tvs the y files last October 98. To cut a long story short since
this event I had no interest in art and could not even draw a straight line
with a ruler now over the past two years I have not stopped channelling from
the cosmos I believe,very unusual art work, which I call inter-dimensional
cosmic art, and through this I will have my second art exhibition at the
Palace Thearte Westcliff starting 1st feb for three weeks. Also through
this Southend ufo encounter I have started a group called inter-diemensional
minds of awareness which I have been informed via my channelling will
become along with my art a global thing which will truly put good old
Southend on the world stage all this is happening right now and as you start
reading about I.M.O.A. In the media including tv you will know where you
got this information first. I must stress that this is a true account of a
paranormal happening in Southend on Sea. There is so much more I could tell
you but this is not the right space. Just remember this Southend is not
just pubs clubs,resturants,shops,banks,building societies and a seafront it's
full of terrible noises, and the smell of fish and chips it also has for me
anyway an incredible mystical side.
As an ex-resident of Benfleet and Southend during the 60's and 70's I can't believe some of the ill-informed comments being made on this site. No mention of the Pier, the planes 'water bombing' the fire at the end of the pier, the Torch Light Carnival and the Kursaal Flyer, and I for one am very pleased to hear that TOTS is still going ( I had some great times there and learnt a lot from some great girls). What about the Gold Mine on Canvey, or some of the disco's in the various yacht clubs, and the rugby club ? Southend has become a butt of some people's jokes over the years - Wrong! Does anyone remember the night when SUFC held Liverpool to a draw at Roots Hall ? Southend was, and still is, a great place - COME ON YOU BLUE BOYS !!!
The college Seecat (South East Essex college of Arts and Technologies) is soon to get university status. How?? Bonus of this isq that Southend could become student orientated which can't be a bad thing
Local celebraties that arnt famous The man who looks like father Christmas who marches up and down the high street with his shirt off Penny steve who works on the flower stall by tescos, hours of fun can be had throwing old coppers at him and whatching him retrieve them
most up for it people regard a trip to london on friday or saturday a short trip for decent clubs
Southenders, the "TH" should be pronounced with a "F" if you are a true local!
Right this is a message for you left wing right wing bastards let's just get under the wing. Southend is a town and unfortunately as in all towns you get your wankas, lager louts, hip hop swing beat freaks. I live in Southend and of all its little quirks, ok you've got the "clicky" crew, but that's cool: you don't have to associate. London's not too far, I personaly think that it's good to be able to get away from it all (become human). The "Sunrooms" is o.k, but the toilets fucking stink. There's loads of mad little monsters hidden in the "gents" lavi. O.k if you want a shag. Not for moi, personaly speaking, but you can always go to (what iI would consider, a "crap" place) T.O.T.S, Adlib's etc... Shrimpers Club is banging tecno, ok if you like that sort of thig, "Smoke" is cool it's down stairs to "Saks" (wine bar) Any way I could bore you to death. See ya, Claire.
I am just writing to inform you that your account of Southend is surprisingly inaccurate. I have lived there for all 19 years of my life, and know enough to say that much of the information is not as important as the information you missed out. I would be grateful if you could correct or acknowledge this fact.
I lived in Southend for 20 years and I now live in Canada, I really appreciate Southend more now. As the saying goes: "You don't know what you've got until you lose it." The BEST thing about Southend is the Nightlife, whatever your taste, there is something in Southend for you. Most of the people in Southend slate it down to the ground but if opportunities didn't bring me here then I couldn't think of a better place to live. The WORST thing about Southend is that the Nightlife stops at 2am. (That shows you how a Southendians mind works). As it is mostly a residential area the night has to calm down at 2am. Oh Yeah that Seafront of ours does bring things down a bit but hey! at least it keeps those hazey minded people away from the places that you go: so in a way it has to be a good thing, Don't you think. Summary: Show me a better place to live and I'll eat this computer!! (Catch my drift!!) I can be mailed at kejohn@mail.accent.net for comments or questions on Southend from people who have not been there for a while or people who are going there or thereabouts!!
Clarissa: I am living in the USA at the moment and have been for a while now. I got home sick reading the comments about Southend and Leigh-on-Sea. It is true what other people have said, you don't appreciate how great Southend is until you don't live there anymore. I was a student at Southend High School for Girls between '83 & '88 and if anyone remembers me they are welcome to drop me a line at debenham@usa.pipeline.com. Some people, and they know who they are, WON'T get a reply. Anyone who remembers me from SEEVIC (88 - 90) will get a reply (no grudges there).
My name is Johnny Anderson and I lived in Southend for the first 20 years of my life. The 15 years I didn't really question my surroundings. Before I reached the age of 16, I left school and became heavily involved in the punk rock movement. Many of us had nick names like Pigeon (R.I.P my friend), Polly, Slug, Steve 76, Sid and Pat the Hat. I guess my view on my hometown is different to the way many would look at it. My view cames more from living on the streets, so to speak. My happiest memories go back to drinking down 'The Cliff,' a bar next to the railway lines at the bottom of Park Road. Every Friday and Saturday night in the early to mid eighties you'd open up those old pre war wooden doors and be faced with leather jackets, colored hair and attire of every individual form imaginable. We also used to hang out at a place that no longer exists but was known as 'The Green.' This was an area of grass that was opposite WH Smith book store. I'm told now that it is a huge cinema. Every day we'd all drink and do lots of illegal things :-) But those days are long gone and all I have left are a few hundred photographs of that time period and some fabulous memories that I'll never forget. I moved to the United States on Thursday September 7 of 89 and have spent the majority of my time here since. I've traveled through 43 of the 50 states. Since leaving Southend on Sunday July 12 of 87 I've hitchhiked over 70,000 miles going through 15 countries. I personally hate Southend. I feel that after living there for so many years I have the right to form a pretty strong opinion. I look at Southend as a trap. A place where you go to and think you'll be there for a couple of months. Next thing a couple of years have passed and your part of the scene and all everyone wants to do is bitch about some irrelevent thing or other. There seems to be no progression in the town. I say this as I experience exactly the same scenerio everytime I go back. Everyone is doing the same monotomous thing and life just seems to stagnate there. Anyhow, I just thought I'd air my opinion. If anyone would like to write to me my e-mail address is pigeon6969@aol.com and I have a website as follows:- http://vader.castles.com/wattie
Reading some of the comments made me homesick for some of my old haunts. I have not been back in Southend since I came to Canada in 1967. Places that spring to mind: Priory Park, The "Exhibition" pub in old Shoebury, Thundersly Glen (the times I cycled out to that place). Of course the pier-fishing for flounders off the 1st shelter. I don't know where the SUFC are playing now, but when I was there, if I remember, it was in the Old Gravel Pit. Maybe someone can tell me if these places still exist? Robin Dobres rdobres@direct.ca
Some sad lads here, but also all my mates are from Southend. If you look hard, you can find some very decent people amongst some pretty decent entertainments. Avoid eye-contact with bald lads and you'll have a laugh in Southend. The Super Blues are a fantastic footie team now, because they're completely lucky and always place high with goals from each of the 1000 new players being signed and sold again.
From an avid fan of Ronnie Whelan's Blue Army, all the comments about the council and TOTS are true (it is a very good meat market!) There are plans afoot for the pier and the Kursaal, but I would like to comment on the sanity of the architect. Why has it not been mentioned that the greatest football team in the world have reached the heady heights of 6th in the first division (nose bleeds for all us supporters) - west banker)
As a university student, I took off from my home in San Francisco, quitting school and work to travel to Europe. Through strange circumstances, I ended up living, with my boyfriend and another American, in a flat in Westcliff for several months. I have never met any better people than those of you in Southend. The town, despite what all of you locals might say, is refreshingly historic and (pardon) quaint in comparison to almost anywhere in America. I could have spent every night of my life with a pint at the Sunrooms and every day in the open market just of London Road and in the charity shops. If anyone reading this knows Lang Skrimshire at Southend Tech, Jon Staines at SEEVIC, Sophie Lewis (whereabouts unkown) or Frithe who works at the Sunrooms, please e-mail me at adahl@cinemaspace.berkeley.edu
The best thing about Southend is the comforting lack of boffins and boring people, although many people in Southend are too clever for their own good, strikingly. No, it's not a shithole, it's just doesn't have a University. There seems to be this nasty predjudice that if there is no University it's a crap place, but from were I've been it seems the shitholes are places with Universities. Also driving in Southend is a piece of piss, and there are none of these shitty little cycle lanes all over the place. I took my car to Southampton and after navigating the endless sets of traffic lights, cycle lanes, crap cyclists/drivers and the ignorance of the whole highway system some wanker drove into me. OK enough of putting Soton down. But Southend is a much better place.
Yeah - living in Southend all your life means that coming to Uni suddenly leads to an appreciation of the town we used to refer to as 'shithole'. There is SO much more in the way of entertainments in Southend than in any other part of the South East, short of London. Even the football team is coming along! O.K. there are some SAD lads there but I love a lot of people from Southend and you should see the amount of twats I've met from other parts since I've been at Uni!! The amusement arcades are cool but run by mugs, and populated by lads giving it the large in their wac lowered XR3is.
Anyone out there used to go to Valkyrie school in the 50's would you believe, it seems so long ago now, from what I have been reading Southend and Westcliff must have changed for the worst since I left in 66. Is the Southend standard still going and is it online? Is the pier still standing [yes], does anyone remember the fire on it around 60-61?
Southend-on-Sea eh! What a place, now that I live in Glasgow I realise what a small town it really is. Credit where credit's due though, it has got better in recent years. Steve (ex-resident of Eastwood, Leigh-on Sea. If anyone out there was at Westcliff High Sixth in 88-90, mail me at Steven@msoc.mrc.gla.ac.uk)
Philip: Yeah, I suppose you're right, just the demented wobblings of a soul weary ex-pat. It sucked pretty well when I lived there, and it had major suck when I visited. I witnessed one bottling, one street fight (broken up by a policeman) and got glared (we used to call it "screwed" ) for the duration. Does anyone know anybody that went to Southend College of Art in the late 80's?
Peter: I can't believe no one mentioned the WORLD FAMOUS Southend pier even though the bowling alley on it burnt down! The best watering holes in the town have to be Bakers Bar, The Last Post or the Dickens. Wherever you go you can't avoid Essex man or college kids but Southend girls are the best in the world even if they are called Sharon or Tracy. Avoid TOTS and the Sun Rooms at all costs and as for Old Leigh, forget it.
Philip: To correct your info on Saaaaaaafffend, the bit of Leigh-on-Sea called "old Leigh" isn't nice in summer at all. The hot sun burns down on the hot sands - well, hot mud, which smells bloody awful. Also, the pubs down there fill up with the sort of tedious wankers that you have been avoiding for years. I know coz I went to school with most of them! The pubs on the so-called 'Golden Mile' are even worse - do not enter them unless you are heavily armed and wearing biker leathers. Apart from that, you've got it about right. Just one thing - the sad Trevs and Kevs who cruise the seafront have apalling music taste. Real skaters listen to Anthrax (you know it's true!!!!)
Tim:
Best = loads of girls of various types. Also the bit of Leigh on Sea called "Old Leigh" is really nice when it's sunny.
Worst thing is the large quantity of Essex Boys and their XR3is. If you like football, beer, fast (crap) cars and cave-man attitudes, you should hang around the sea-front.
Paul:
The best thing is that you get hardly any hassle from anyone.
The worst thing is that there's only one skate shop around.
Chris:
Best thing(s) - the smell of the sea, the arcades are pretty damn good, and there's TWO ace head shops - Oh Yeah! and Apache Rising (owned by the same bloke), Golden Moon Chinese Restaurant
Worst thing(s) - tends to get invaded by psychotic w**kers and Londoners, Tots nightclub, the underlying sense of paranoia that you're going to get your head caved in if you walk about the town after midnight, Canvey is nearby, too many Masons about too
No really decent clubs (TOTS can't be called a club - a meatmarket perhaps).
The Council is crap because it builds too many supermarkets instead of more useful developments (ie new SUFC stadium) and also has left the more well-known parts of the Golden Mile (Pier and the Kursaal) in a rather derelict and bad state.
Londoners - especially those who come to cause trouble (ie Millwall FC)
Car twats (who drive round and round in Escort Vans etc because "there's nothing else to do")
Bikers (long greasy-haired)
Idiots down the seafront come in three major types:
What's happend to all the car treasure hunts?
Other:
TOTS for sure.
The lamentable lack of any decent shops in the town centre - unless you like shoe shopping or visitng building socities, you're shit out of luck. Sounds like I hate the place - I don't really.
Any of the stupid pricks who think it is fun to trash the local trains/park/buildings.
Shell Suits - believe it or not they still exist in ESSEX and are seen as THE fashion statment (I believe the statement is tasteless WA**KER)
Ronnie Whelan - erstwhile ex manager of Southend Utd - good riddance
Cruise Night - what the hell are these people on??
Small tops and short skirts worn by the dogs who accompany the babes.
Kids getting in to Tots. Being between Canvey island and Pitsea. Too many Sharon and Tracys, and Trevs and Kevs.
The fact that people, especially the young cuss Southenders with poor accents. Historically, Southenders are very well spoken and the drawling accent you may hear about comes from the East End of London and is not shared or admired by ex-residents such as myself. Also, Southend is served by the infamous "Misery Line" from Fenchurch Street in London!
Canvey being so near; TOTS, (when you're attached and can't appreciate the meat on offer!); cruisers; Wayne's; ridiculously permed, skinny, high-hell wearing Tracys; worrying about being beaten shitless walking down the street, even in broad daylight, etc
Southend seafront (anytime), the cruisers, TOTS (although my sister still goes there) in fact all the clubs, Churchills (both of them) and all other similar wine bars & Southend High School for Girls (a living hell).
Worst:
Southend United - they may be crap, but they are our crap.
Small tops and short skirts worn by the babes (that's nearly my quota of sexist comments for the week)
Money pushing machines and arcades!!!!!!!
Don't forget to play prop cycle in the arcades.
The 'Brush on a Saturday night; SHSG, (from the point of view of a WHSB'er); bowling on the seafront for birthday parties, (sniff); finding something you've been looking for for ages in Gumbis, AND being able to afford it; SUFC, and watching a winning goal go in from the North bank; Lakeside being so near; both my ex and my present being from there, etc
Against The Grain!! The best southern rock band in the universe!!!!!
A great big spawling suburbia without the run-down areas you get in a major town.
Excellent in summer to take speed boat out by the sea and although every one canes Southend during the summer it beats living in the midlands.
The sea (I live inland now), the Grand and all it's customers and staff, the Esplanade (especially on Rock night), the Pink Toothbrush (although not strictly in Southend), Old Leigh, all Leigh-ites (best people on Earth) & my family.
No really dodgy areas.
SUFC - by far the greatest team
Old Leigh - especially sitting outside the Peter Boat with a pint in the Summer
Recent increase in decent late-opening town centre pubs (Fish + Ferkin, Last Post, Bakers etc)
TOTS - but only when you're absolutely slaughtered
Women -much better than many I've seen nationwide especially in Coventry (if you thought Southend was a shithole wait until you see this hole)
