Moving to Shoebury?	by Saila (Member 10189021) on 12-Jul-2006
I live in the US and my partner is currently residing in Shoebury. He is determined to move here permanently, and I have yet to go visit the area. I'm not sure whether to make the international move there or remain where I am. For everyone that lives there what can you say about Shoeburyness? or Essex/England in general? Everyone's experience varies, but I would respect some input. Thankyou, Saila. Re: Moving to Shoebury? by Brian Kane (Member 10145749) on 4-Aug-2006 Hi Salia. Regarding you moving to Shoeburyness, it is a bit of a one horse town and even that has left. here is what the local government has to say about shoeburyness. ENHANCE - SHOEBURYNESS A 7 year scheme to prepare school leavers for life and work, to be delivered as an extension of the approved Round 3 scheme. Shoeburyness is an isolated, run down area whose problems include high unemp loyment, low educational attainment, high absenteeism, poor environment and lack of community facilities. Individual projects would provide training/skills enhancement, business mentoring and parenting skills. There are linkages with New Deal, the "Excellence in Schools" White Paper, National Curriculum and Ofsted Framework for Inspection of Primary Schools. If you want to move to england, don't go to essex, move to Suffolk like I did 36 years ago, it's a much nicer plce to live in. Hope that this is of some use to you. ... more >> Reply

Shoeburyness	by Tony Paton (Member 10173260) on 2-Jan-2006
What is Shoeburyness? Since Shoeburyness was brought to my attention in a TV programme featuring some ramblings by Janet Street Porter, I have often wondered what Shoeburyness is like? If happiness is a noun formed from the adjective "happy", can "shoebury" be an adjective too? What if anythiing does "shoebury" have to do with burying shoes? I really like the name "Shoeburyness" but can anyone su ggest a possible meaning of "shoeburyness"? I don't mean something about it's etymological derivation - "ness" means peninsula, I think, I don't know about the rest of the word. I'm really wondering if anyone can suggest a plausible meaning for what it means to be "shoebury"? I realise that this is a rather bizarre request but are there other people in existence that wonder about "shoeburyness"? Is there any kind of support group, I can join to help cope with this unusual fascination? Are there websites with pictures of Shoeburyness? ... more >> Re: Shoeburyness by Brian Kane (Member 10145749) on 7-Jan-2006 Hi Tony.
