Churchill Gardens c1966
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

'The gardens were officially opened on 4th May 1966 by the Lord-Lieutenant of Essex Sir John Ruggles-Brise Bt, CB, OBE, TD, JP. who unveiled a bust of Churchill in the centre of the gardens.' (quoted from the Southend Time Line). My young sons and I often walked through the gardens on our way home from primary school. First we would sit on the grass to enjoy iced buns and a drink of lemonade.
