AFF's old haunting ground...

Do they still have that Peter Pan in Wonderland thing? What about the pier? Walk out, train back, standard...

I couldn't believe it when they got rid of that pendulum thing <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> - now that was superb. Kinda felt sorry for the guy though, apparently he was stuck there for over 40 years! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

nah thats into sarfend GHA this is about 2 to 3 miles before that.. its what was originally leigh on sea before they ran a fk off railway through it 100 odd years ago.. all trawlers n [censored] still down there very nice in the summer rammed every weekend

[Little Miss Urchin]

The things GHA was talking about are also in Southend.

 

Still rather peeved about the pendulum thing though. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

[GHA EFM]

All I know is A####### Drive, and the toy factory just before you turn right...not much else...as I said, ask AFF...

[Chubbhead EFM]

Erm, I know it's highly inappropriate on this thread, but I don't seem to be able to start a new thread. GHA, do you have the power to sort this out, seeing as your a moderator?

I'll have a look, see what I can do.

 

(p.s. Rob, sort it out whilst I pretend to do stuff)

[cynic's evil twin]

Can you sort me out a friend

[Rob_the_Saint]

OK, I'll PM the Chubbstress... your 'cred' is safe with me.

[Chubbhead EFM]

Cheers GHA! (or should I be thanking Rob? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )

[GHA EFM]

No problem

Hi GHA.

 

Yes. Everything that you described is Southend-On-Sea apart from the toy warehouse which is now a Mercedes/Lexus dealership. It was Peter Pan's Playground on the sea side and Never Never Land on the Cliffs side. Talking of which, I see that the Cliffs are falling down in places.

 

The pier. There was once a disco at the end called the Diamond Horseshoe. It burnt down as I remember. Come to think of it, the bowling alley at the other end burnt down on another occasion. There have been several fires, I think.

 

Not to be confused with Leigh-On-Sea which is a horse of a very different colour. The Crooked Billet. Happy days.

Well they're Toyotas really, GHA.

[GHA EFM]

I won't tell anyone if you don't <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

Leigh-on-Sea. I trust there is a sea-front part. AFF. What attractions does Leigh-On-Sea's seaside have that I would know?

[AFF]

You wouldn't really say sea-front, GHA. The cockle sheds and the mud flats have a charm of their own.

 

On a wild [weather!] night in October, at high tide, a training run along the sea path from Chalkwell station to Old Leigh is unforgettable.

 

Few tourists.

There isn't a sea front in the same vein as Sarfen's - however Leigh is vastly superior for Pubs.
