Southend-on-Sea, Essex
Southend-on-Sea is a city and seaside resort in Essex. Southend is a child of the great age of seaside holidays. Once it was no more than the south end of the village of Prittlewell, but from the time holidaymakers first came here in the Georgian period, the south end grew into a large and popular holiday resort. Southend Pier (1889) is the longest pleasure pier in the world. Southend-on-Sea was granted city status on 18th October 2021 as a memorial to local MP Sir David Amess, who was murdered on 15th October 2021. The city is within the council area of Southend-on-Sea.
