I love the links you put on here! The Playhouse reminds me of a Wetherspoons pub in Cardiff, called the Prince of Wales. It was a theatre and is well preserved upstairs.

Come down further next time, for cockles and whelks in Leigh on Sea 💕

What a lovely Sunday morning post. Essex has such a bad rep but has so many lovely towns and features. Saffron Walden really cheered me up when I discovered it on a day trip post or mid-semi lockdown (the day of Prince Phillip's funeral). It is hard to remember all those stages we went through and what they entailed now - thank goodness!

What a fascinating post! Thank you for the recommendation of "The Seaside", and I've enjoyed following the links about public wall art and Frinton Park Estate. That is an excellent combine harvester, and via the link to the Frinton Park Estate Walking Tour I loved the estate agent's description of one house as "Rather neo-classical and Italian fascist".

Thank Jane - this was a trip down memory lane I went to school in Maldon, a sister lived in Wivenhoe and Colchester and friends in Tollesbury!
