Favourite Building
  • Brooke house. A brutalist splendour of a building.
  • Mcdonalds or colours, either way im getting me some meat
  • norwich union - it means i'm almost home!!
  • Church On The Hill
  • Cant think of harly any although St Martins church has an interesting 60's feel
  • woodlands school
  • errr?....my house
  • Towngate Theatre when it was open. Used to have a good bar and a brilliant restaurant 'til the Tories closed it down. When it's opened on "special occasions" it's very run down. What a shame for such a nice building. Thank you, Tory party!
  • The car park by Sava-Centre. It does not look like the usual multi parks. The round openings are different and it's built with bricks, not the usual concrete.
  • All the wonderful properties in Noak Bridge village. What development vision to bring modern, luxury village living at a reasonable price (well it was was when I bought mine), close to major highways and yet a quiet and rural feel about the place. A nature reserve with foxes and jays completes the idyll.
  • basildon hospital
  • church on the hill in pitsea- its cool i love scary things although its not as scary as i remember it not its got that tacky fone thing stickin up from it now.
  • there arnt any :S
  • The Onion at the Ford Tractor Plant - when you saw that you always knew you were 15 minutes from an Ice Cream / bag of cockles on the beach at Southend. Thank you Fords.
  • I like the deserted OASIS bar up in the clouds above the town. Sinister.
  • THE COURTS
  • THE PAVIS FOUNDATION BADER HOUSE WITCHARDS BASILDON
  • Basildon College! Basildon College! Basildon College! There's nowhere like it in the world!
  • the pavillion a great bit art work.
  • Shopping centre, Ikon my house!
  • the ugly one
  • Brooke House for it's 60's charm and is probably listed.
  • THE OLD CHURCH ON TOP OF THE HILL. ST NICK'S OF COURSE, ITS OLD ITS SPOOKY AND LAST TIME I WENT THERE A A WEIRD OLD TRAMP CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, AND SAID 'I WOULDN'T STAY HERE ON MY OWN GIRLY, YOU GET SOME STRANGE FOLK UP 'ERE.' THEN VANISHED!
  • pets mart
  • Brooke house in the town square, reasently gained grade two listing, stads out from the crowd notibly for the unique concrete organic collumns that elevate it 6 storeys above the town square.
  • Brook House in the Town Square, a typical 60's building. Also St Martin's Church in the town square which is pretty snazzy too!
  • Very little of interest, although brand new County court is quite nice.
