With family members living in Southend on Sea and Canvey Island for many years (and some of us are still here!) the Cockle Sheds at Leigh on Sea have been a favourite place to visit for relatives to visit over the years. I'm still a regular there both for the seafood or a visit to the jazz club at the Mayflower Pub. The photo shows one of the cockle sheds in times gone by but except the the pile of shells things have not changed much and I wouldn't be surprised if that old shed wasn't still standing.
That's a bit more as I remember it.
