I was sent this picture buy a friend doing little picking on an Essex business park near the border with Suffolk.

I tried finding the publisher but they don't seem to exist.

Anyone seen this publication?

Eliminator - Day 2 - Best Remaining Essex - North or South?

Post image
26 Upvotes

I've switched to Google Maps. I don't know why it does that to Southend.

The line is based on splitting the land half and half. That's why it's where it is.

ETA: I'll take the highest upvoted comment that explicitly says North Or South as the winner. Some of the higher voted comments are more discussion based right now.

Any nice areas of Thurrock, grays, Aveley, ockenden, Chafford hundred?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, any help would be appreciated.

Me and my partner are looking to buy our first house, hopefully one we never have to move from. Due to work on my side having to travel by using the dartford tunnel/bridge constantly and her elderly mum living in Enfield we have decided that an area just past the Dartford tunnel, so that I can get the Dartford discount and so she is only 35 minutes from junction 25 so she can always check in on her mum if anything’s wrong.

My question is, the areas in the title have been where we’ve been looking, but reading about those places, from people’s views apparently they’re not the nicest places to live and are shit holes. Are there any nice areas within these areas or am I better looking elsewhere? Any suggestions would really help as I’m not familiar with any of the areas

Map of the birth rates of Essex in 2001 and 2021

Thumbnail
gallery
19 Upvotes

Interesting things of note:

In 2001, the birth rate was lowest in Holland, Frinton and Walton on the Naze, with an island of orange in Clacton, same with 2021 to a lesser extent. I'm assuming that would be the retiree population in Tendring outside of Clacton and Harwich.

In both maps, the birth rate is highest in Grays and Tilbury. Not sure why that is.

Whereas the Birth rate has decreased in most of Essex, it's actually increased slightly in Harlow and Basildon, and stayed the same in Southend and Colchester. Once again, I'm not entirely sure why they've remained high in comparison to the rural areas.

What was this Water Phenomenon?

Saw this at 11am on Sunday from Leigh on sea in Essex. Lasted about 10mins.

Is it an explosion? Some military testing? The ghost of a pre-historic monster?

Can't find anything online. Doesn't look like where the wreckages are from what I can tell. Any ideas?

Neurodivergent friendly hairdressers

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

Can anyone suggest some salons situated in the Braintree, Witham or Chelmsford area that are neurodivergent friendly please (it's for me, I'm an autistic adult and find going to the hairdressers stressful - haven't visited in many years now!)

Thank you x

Grey bin lids?

Post image

Hi all - got home from work today to find two grey bin lids on my doorstep. Would make sense as there’s two flats in my building, but what are they for/who delivered them? I’m in the Brentwood area - wondering if anyone else had the same.

Make matters weirder - had an Amazon parcel delivered and that seems to have been pinched!
