Talk:Shoeburyness

Untitled
Hi morwen- I live in Southend and have done all my life (well since I was six) and wasn't aware it was a 'city' (no cathedral here from where i'm sitting :-) ), so unsure how Shoebury can be within 'city boundaries' (at the arse end of southend might be a better description, though somewhat POV ;-) )- can you be more specific?? quercus robur 19:10, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Is Shoebury Common Beach really known as 'West Beach'? When I was growing up in Southend in the 50s/60s/70s it was always known as South Beach or simply as Shoebury Beach (as opposed to Shoebury East Beach) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.194.86.1 (talk) 10:26, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Where is "Shoeburyness Artillery", please??

Lacks detail

 * I feel this article lacks detail and could easily be elaborated upon. Shoburyness is steeped in history, particularly the garrison which, prior to it's re-development into a residential sector, housed the military for over a century . I would add more myself only... I'm a lazy sod. --80.42.117.75 (talk) 00:30, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

North Shoebury & Pig's Bay combined
I have now redirected the two pages into this page. Pig's Bay is technically only an area of Shoebury and even though it appears on the map, it really is not a geographical feature but a name given to the area by the military. I have moved the page into the Shoeburyness article and added references as most of the article was not referenced. North Shoebury is non distinctive since the 1980s, and since 1933 has been registered under Shoeburyness. The original page only quoted a statement from 1872, whose reference was dead, while the statement about distinctive area was just opinion and not referenced. Also technically, Southend Council only have two wards for the area, Shoeburyness and West Shoebury. The pages have been redirected to Shoeburyness, and I have updated the whole page to reflect Shoeburyness history as previously requested in this talk page, though I have only added a condensed history as there is so much more thst could be added, in fact a whole article on its own (Philip Benton/Judith Williams have written two historys of the town and the development by the Frapping family).Davidstewartharvey (talk) 06:50, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Last recorded case of indigenous malaria in the British Isles?
"Reported cases continued until 1921. Writing afterwards, malaria specialist Percy Shute reported that there had been 481 indigenous cases between 1917 and 1921, all of the Plasmodium vivax form.5 The last known indigenous case of malaria occurred as late as 1957."
