After we uploaded a picture of Southend seafront from 1000 feet, we received a few emails asking about aerial photos of South Essex, and so we added a Southend from the air page.
We’ve now expanded this by adding a few snaps of Southend, which you’ll find on this page. Below are some thumbnail pictures from in and around Southend. At the moment, we’ve added these small images just to give a flavour of what we have in our growing collection, but we need your help to expand this.
If there’s a picture of something you’d like to see, or you’d like us to email you a full-size image of one of the photos below, please email us, and we’ll try to help.

If you’re curious to see what your house looks like from overhead, check out www.getmapping.co.uk – on their site you can view your house by putting in your postcode. If you’re interested in a higher resolution image, you can order a digital copy, or an A3 poster of your street in photo quality. Well worth a look! They make a great gift idea too…

Tried to look at the ‘Southend Timeline’ link above but it turned out to be a foreign gambling site.. incidentally, do you have any pictures of the High Street around 2002 (before they got rid of the planters) as I have quite fond memories of this era.. many thanks in advance
