Prince Charles graced the official ceremony in Southend-on-Sea on March 1, 2022, commemorating the town's transformation into a city. Prior to his untimely passing, Southend West's MP Sir David Amess tirelessly championed the cause of Southend's city status, seeking recognition for its significant role throughout history, both within Essex and the nation.

Southend's journey began as a humble fishing village nestled along the Thames Estuary, but it blossomed into a beloved and fashionable resort in the 19th century. This transformation was sparked by the visit of Princess Caroline of Brunswick and Lady Hamilton, who brought a touch of glamour and sophistication to the area.

As the century progressed, Southend witnessed the construction of its first pier, a testament to its growing prominence. This pier, which was later rebuilt and stands as the longest pleasure pier in the world, boasts its own railway system and offers a plethora of attractions beyond its shores. Southend's allure extends far beyond its pier, with a rich calendar of events, regenerated shopping centers, entertainment and cultural venues, conservation areas, and a local airport.

Celebrating the City of Southend is a captivating chronicle that pays homage to Southend's proud heritage, significant moments, and the reasons why it continues to captivate countless individuals today. Illustrated throughout, this fascinating book provides a marvelous and uplifting insight into Southend's rich heritage, special events, and pivotal moments. It will serve as a valuable contribution to the city's history and will evoke cherished memories for those who have had the privilege of knowing it intimately over the years.
