The Wrekin

Southend Beach
My Great Uncle and Great Aunt (Joe and Rose) both passed away recently, so I decided to share their memory here. I am their Great Niece's daughter. As far as I am aware, they met about aged 17 or 18 on a "Beano" on Southend ...Read more

A National Savings Centre is tucked away on the left of our picture, and the Millstone Hotel is at the far side.
