Maldon East and Heybridge railway station served the town of Maldon and village of Heybridge in Essex, England. It was opened in 1848 by the Maldon, Witham & Braintree Railway (MWBR) on a branch line from Witham to Maldon. Originally named Maldon but itwas renamed Maldon East in 1889 and then Maldon East and Heybridge in 1907. This terminus station was located at the end of two branch lines from Witham and Woodham Ferrers. A plan dated 1920 shows that the station had a goods shed and a two-road engine shed. A turntable was situated adjacent to the station building and there were sidings that served the Blackwater Canal and the river wharf. The line and the station closed to passenger services in 1964. The station building has survived and was, for many years, a restaurant. By 2013, it was largely surrounded by an industrial estate, although its impressive frontage can still be viewed from Station Road.

The Southend Waterworks Company began construction of its Langford works in 1924 and by 1927 the works was pumping water from the River Chelmer. The Lilleshall Company Limited supplied three similar steam driven vertical triple expansion rotative pumping engines, each with a maximum pumping capacity of 4.4 million gallons per day. The engines were worked in pairs with a combined maximum pumping rate of 8 million gallons per day. Steam pumping was replaced by electricity in 1963 and two of the engines were scrapped. The third engine has subsequently been restored and forms a centrepiece to the Museum of Power that has been established in the old waterworks buildings.

The gasworks site in Chelmsford is to be redeveloped for housing and car parking. These gasholders are redundant and will be scrapped.

It was used for lifting waste material and refuse from barges in the Thames for dumping to reclaim land. The span was 900 ft and it could handle a net load of 4 tons. Powered by a two cylinder steam engine it could hoist at 300ft per minute and travel at 900 ft per minute.

Description from the Cinema Treasures website. The Regent Theatre was built as a cine-variety house and opened in 1913 having being designed by Francis Burdett Ward. In August 1916 it became a full-time cinema. It has an elaborately decorated auditorium containing a large stalls seating area, single balcony and two bulbous boxes on each side. The whole auditorium is richly embellished with fibrous plasterwork . The proscenium arch is marble flanked and the stage was relatively deep for such a dual-purpose building. The ornate decoration extends through into the foyer areas which were altered in 1935. In 1943 when, in the ownership of Eastern Counties Cinemas Ltd, it seated 1,000. It was operated by Shipman & King from around 1959. Despite the generous stage, the Regent Theatre was mostly operated as a cinema until closure on 6th September 1975 when it became a bingo hall. This too has closed and the Regent is now a large bar, now known as the Chicago Rock Cafe, it thankfully retains the auditorium decorations intact. The foyer has been extensively altered and also functions as a bar. It is a Grade II Listed building.
