The Southend museum is fantastic.It gives a great history of the pier. Then why not take a walk along the pier itself. It was the longest in the World at one stage. It is about 1 mile long and at one did have a bowling alley on it. How about walk up there and get the train back?

Yawn

For under 3 quid, you get entrance to the Museum and a ride on the train to the end of the pier.

Honestly, it was boring. The museum had some good old pictures of the pier being built etc and some of the pier on fire... not exactly insping as we were about to board a train to the end of the pier (1 mile away) There was nothing down there either apart from a cafe, and some burnt bits of pier.
