Shoeburyness is a town in southeast Essex, England, situated at the mouth of the river Thames. It is within the borough of Southend-on-Sea, and is situated at the far east of the borough, around 3 miles east of Southend town centre. It was an urban district of Essex from 1894 to 1933, when it became part of the county borough of Southend-on-Sea.[1]
The eastern terminus of the London Tilbury & Southend Railway (c2c line) is at Shoeburyness railway station. The eastern end of the A13 is at Shoeburyness. The Ministry of Defence site at Pig's Bay is situated nearby.
A great tower is currently in the planning stages that will one day stand in the Shoeburyness Garrison housing development. It is hoped it will rival the Angel of the North. The tower, as yet unnamed, will be part of the Thames Gateway project, a development that will rejuvenate large portions of the Thames Estuary.
