' This was the Corporation Loading Jetty. In 2015, this has finally been demolished, after Southend Corporation first declared it obsolete in the 1970's, and then left it to fall derelict. On the Pier side, there was a hardstand and a set of "blocks", which could be hired by the tide, to do work to the underside of the hull of a boat - either caulking seams, repairing leaks, scrubbing-off and re-applying Anti-fouling, rudder repairs, attention to propellers and sterntubes, etc. All gone now. The nearest facility for a boat to dry out for such underwater work is now at Old Leigh. '
