Synopsis

The Struggle to build Southend's First Wooden Pier was from the very outset mired in argument. Powerful landowners had different views as to where the pier should be built and who should pay for it. Some who considered themselves be part of the 'fashionable' society and held property in Southend simply opposed the pier. Fishermen and oystermen were also alarmed that their livelihoods would be irreparably damaged. On and off for 10 years there were multiple legal disputes accompanied by vandalism and violence. So step back in time and enjoy the remarkable story. Based on a wealth of material taken from contemporary newspaper and court reports together with extracts of the minutes of key meetings and years research by the author The Struggle for to build Southend's First Wooden Pier comes to life.
