Westcliff-on-Sea is a suburb of Southend-on-Sea, a seaside resort and unitary authority in Essex in south-east England. Westcliff on Sea is situated on the north bank of the Thames Estuary, about 34 miles east of London.
The cliffs formed by erosion of the local quaternary geology give views over the Thames Estuary towards the Kent coastline to the south. The coastline has been transformed into sandy beaches through the use of groynes and imported sand. The estuary at this point has extensive mud flats. At low tide, the water typically retreats some 600 m from the beach, leaving the mud flats exposed.
The London, Tilbury and Southend Railway line arrived in the 1880s, connecting the town with London and shortening travel time to and from that city. Westcliff railway station in Station Road is now managed by c2c.
An area of Westcliff bordering Southend town centre has been classified as a conservation area, including Prittlewell Square gardens and the Grade II listed building, Our Lady Help of Christians and St Helen's Church.
The main shopping area in Westcliff-on-Sea is Hamlet Court Road, where the department store Havens, established in 1901, remains the anchor store. Hamlet Court Road took its name from a manor house called the Hamlet Court, which stood on land now occupied by Pavarotti's restaurant and the Nat West bank, facing towards the sea with sweeping gardens down to the rail line. The road later developed into a strong independent retail area, and quickly became famous outside the area as the Bond Street of Essex.

How to photograph Pub Signs.
When you photograph a pub sign, you are inevitably shooting from below and pointing the camera upwards, and, more often than not, having to shoot at an angle as well. Unavoidably, therefore, what your camera records is not a rectangle but an irregular quadrilateral, with all four sides of the sign of different lengths and with no 90⁰ angles. Furthermore, there is bound to be a lot of extraneous detail. To correct these faults, you need to use photo editing software (PaintShop Pro / Photoshop / Photoshop Elements -- there may be others) and correct the perspective using a Perspective Correction / Transform tool followed by a crop. You can also correct for colour and/or contrast (especially useful where the sign has faded over the years) and possibly clone out distracting features (there are far better ways of doing this than using the clone tool, but that's another matter).
Ideal conditions for pub sign photography are overcast conditions to avoid unsightly shadows and as little wind as possible.
