Making Connections at Prittlewell Priory
Prittlewell Railway Station, Railway Approach, East Street, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, SS2 6LG
Many now think of Prittlewell as just an area of Southend on Sea, a small offshoot of the wider, seaside city popularised by Victorians pleasure seekers and commuters. However, Prittlewell predates Southend by hundreds of years, as the original settlement in the area. A stop on the well travelled Southend to London line, hop off the train at Prittlewell Station and take a guided walking tour to the priory, passing through two thousand years of local history, to discover just how 'connected' the area truly is.
