Southend

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Southend on Sea is a seaside resort in the south-eastern corner of the county of Essex. Southend is famous in the UK. Many tourists from Britain and abroad visit the town. It has a famous pier which is one of the longest in the world. It was so long (2,158m (or a mile and a third)) that a railway line was built along it. It has been badly damaged by fires four times in fifty years, in 1959, 1976, 1993 and 2005.
