The Corporation Loading Jetty and the Gas,Light, & Coke Company's Loading Jetty - both of which had dryingout grids to enable below-the-waterline work to be done on the hulls of local boats between tides. Both the jetties and hardstands have long been demolished.

Camper Road Jetty. A sailing pleasure boat operated from here for a couple of years post-war. Does anyone remember her name and her owner?

This is the 75ft-long "New Prince Of Wales I" owned by Messrs. A.E.Brand & W.H.Wilson, T/as the Southend Motor Navigation Co. Built by the local Boatbuilders Hayward in the early 1920's, and powered by twin 75hp. Parsons petrol/paraffin engines. A "Dunkirk little ship", listed in Collier's 1961 book "The sands of Dunkirk", with subsequent War service listed in ADM208/3 as an inshore Minesweeper in the London Flotilla of the RN's Nore Division.If any reader has more information about this little vessel, please contact the writer on

TSMV "Dreadnought", built Johnson & Jago, 1936 for J. Polkinghorn. May have been a Dunkirk little ship though neither Collier's nor Plummer's exhaustive Dunkirk Evacuation books mention this particular "Dreadnought" - there being two others with post-nominal numbers, both listed as "sunk-of-the-beaches".

despite my father owning two of the motor pleasure boats in this picture, and my spending a lot of time on this section of the foreshore as a schoolboy, I cannot remember the names of all the other pleasure boats, so if any reader has more information about these little vessels, please contact the writer on
