Southend The Way We Were

£13.50

This DVD presents a fascinating look back at bygone Southend. It explores Southend’s extraordinary growth from an insignificant fishing hamlet to a fashionable Regency resort, and then its transformation into what was described as, ‘a matchless Cockney paradise’ – all in the space of a century.

This remarkable period in Southend’s past is brought to life with a selection of old photos and a unique collection of archive film, which captures many aspects of old Southend; the heyday of the town as a holiday resort in the 1930s, 40s and 50s; the Mayor’s parade in 1920; Southend’s Golden Jubilee celebrations in 1964; and many views of the town that will bring memories flooding back for those who remember the Southend of old – and surprise and intrigue those who don’t.

Many of the events featured in the DVD are brought to life with first-hand accounts from the archives of the Southend Standard.
This engaging journey through time is produced exclusively for the Standard and is narrated by award winning actor, Howard Ellison.

The running time is approximately 50 minutes.
