Uncle Toms Cabin

A Memory of Shoeburyness.

Behind these beach huts was, and as far as I know still is, Uncle Tom's Cabin.   Here you could get cups of tea and so on.  The original was constructed mainly of wood, an old brown colour.  It was replaced I think in the 60's by the glass and brick one that was still there on my last visit a few years ago.  How it got its name I know not.
Me and my mate Johny Horne often walked along this prom especially in the early to mid sixties looking for girls.  That shelter could tell some stories.
