Southend Waterworks Company.
The Southend Waterworks company was founded in 1865. The company supplied 20,000 gallons of water to Cliff Town, which then had a population of less than 2000.
At its centenary in 1965 between 15 and 20 million gallons of water were supplied to an area of 160 square miles to the population of 400,000.
In 1970 the company amalgamated with the South Essex Waterworks Company to become the Essex Water Company.
The main office in Southend was situated in Cambridge Road and was i use until 1986.
The buildings have been sympathetically converted into bungalows and apartments.
