Leigh-On-Sea
On the north bank of the Thames, thirty miles east of London, in the borough of Southend-on-Sea, stands the old fishing village of Leigh-on-Sea steeped in a wealth of history and legends of by-gone days.\r\rNo trip to the Old Town is complete without a visit to the famed "Cockle Sheds" with a bewildering and mouth-watering array of fresh seafood. These have evolved from a long history of trawling for shellfish, and they still cook the cockles in the sheds.\r\rThis area with all its charm and character has proved a popular subject for artists and photographers alike, and there are some fabulous compositions for sale.\r\rThe bustle, warmth and variety of individual boutiques with their own flair and individuality reflects the personality of Leigh itself.This is truly an Alladin’s Cave of variety and quality of fare.\r\rThe number of antique and gift shops, galleries, bookshops, and art and craft shops reflect the deeply engrained artistic nature of Leigh.\r
