Southend, Essex, 1964 and 1958

Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: AMUSEMENT PARKS
Showing "The World's Longest Pier" (one mile long) in the background, and the seafront Amusement Park with the ferris wheel and the "Bumper Cars" sign visible.
We used to love taking the train to the end of the mile long pier.
Some other examples of the Southend amusement park for younger kids, Peter Pan's Playground, below. (1958).
