In view of the town's comparatively isolated position – 20 miles from Chelmsford (the nearest large town) – Burnham-on-Crouch railway station represents a vital transport link. The station is situated on a single-line branch from Wickford, which escaped closure in the 1960s by Beeching, as it was used to supply the nearby Bradwell nuclear power station. The branch line was electrified in the 1980s, and provides off-peak services to Wickford with direct services to and from London Liverpool Street during rush hour, thus allowing the town's inclusion in the London commuter belt.
Burnham-on-Crouch holds a bi-annual charity fund-raising pub crawl, an event which first took place in June 2007. Typically more than 100 local people walk through the town in themed fancy dress raising money for The Samaritans. There is both a summer and winter edition of the crawl.
The town has two community-based magazines, the larger of the two is The Burnham on Crouch and Dengie Focus which is delivered to every house and business in Burnham and Southminster and can be picked up from collection points throughout Dengie. The other is the Burnham and Dengie Hundred Review, it is smaller in size, A5 and is delivered free across the Dengie.

Frederick Charles Vetterlein (1908 - 1983)
Between 1976 and his death in 1983 my father (FCV) photographed every 'Parish Church' in Essex.
His original intention was to make a photographic record of Essex Vilages, however he realized that this would be such a mamoth task as to be unrealistic, so confined himself to the Parish Churches as being the 'focal point of village life'.
CRHnews - Her Majesty The Queen visits Chelmsford 1988
Copyright CRHnews.co.uk
One hundred years after her great, great grandmother, Queen Victoria granted its Royal Charter, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, came to town to celebrate its centenary as a Borough.
The Cathedral bells pealed, crowds up to dozen deep on the pavements cheered, applauded and waved as the Royal Car, bearing the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, moved slowly through the gaily decorated streets to the Cathedral where they attended a Service of Thanksgiving.
A great cheer went up as Her Majesty, in a cream coloured light coat, and Royal blue hat with cream trim, was greeted by the Mayor of Chelmsford, Cllr Philip Firth, and Mayoress, Mrs Irene Firth.
Also in the welcoming party were Chelmsford Council's Chief Executive, Michael Hartley, and his wife Audrey, and the town's MP Simon Burns,and his wife Emma.
Escorted by the Mayor, the Queen and Prince Philip walked through the Cathedral grounds, lined with 600 children from primary and special schools and playgroups, from every corner of the borough.
Presented en route were the Deputy Mayor, Cllr Wilfred Davey his wife Norma, Deputy Mayoress ; the Leader of the Council, Cllr Keith Andrew and his wife Maureen and the Leader of the Conservative group, Cllr Christopher Kingsley and his wife Marian.
Waiting near the West Door were two Chelmsford centenarians, Mrs Cicely Bainbridge, 103, and Mrs Ethel Warner, 104.
At the West Door, the Bishop of Chelmsford, the Right Rev John Waine, and the Provost, the Very Rev John Moses, were presented.
At the invitation of the Mayor, Her Majesty unveiled a plaque commemorating the occasion, on green Cumbrian slate.
The official parties moved in three processions into the Cathedral to a fanfare played by Thames Fanfare Band.
Inside the Cathedral a congregation of 700 representatives of all walks of life in the borough and the county rose to greet Her Majesty as the processional hymm 'Praise My Soul' led by the Cathedral choir, swelled to the roof of the ancient parish church of St Mary.
Assistant Master of Music, Timothy Allen, was at the organ.
The first reading, from the Tenakh was by Simon Burns, from Isaiah 32 verses 1-4 : The second reading, from the New Testament, was by Cllr Philip Firth, Mathew 5 verses 1-12: The Beatitudes.
After the service Her Majesty walked through the ranks of cheering children to Shire Hall stopping to talk to children from Great Baddow's Rothmans School.
Prince Philip, who, on hearing sisters Sally,11, and Stephanie Monk,9, and Laura Crossley,11, say which school they attended, quipped: I thought they made cigarettes!
Suzanne Nichols, 8, of Moulsham Junior School, was trying her hand at Royal Wedding Photography when the Duke stopped and told her: It's not often I get a child taking a picture of my big nose!
And the Queen, accepting a bouquet of hand-woven woollen flowers from Nicola Koster asked if she had made them herself. She had.
The Royal Couple then lunched with 200 guests at Shire Hall, tucking into smoked salmon timbale, devilled duck, salad and hot new potatoes, ginger and kiwi fruit ice in a brandy snap basket, coffee and petits fours.
Wines served were a Muscadet Chateu de la Janniere, Mise sure Lie, 1987 and a Gewurztraminer 1986.
The Royal Couple left Shire Hall to deafening cheers and went on a lively walkabout along Market Road to the new extension where The Queen delivered a speech.
Her Majesty met a variety of people including local historian and Essex Chronicle writer Stan Jarvis, who presented his book 'A View Into Essex'.
Her Majesty stopped to chat to Westlands pupils who had prepared a huge collage of a circus scene and was presented with a basket of flowers by Rebecca Misley,6.
The Mayor later revealed that although nothing was mentioned of Chelmsford's application to become a City to mark its centenary, this was still on the cards.
We have made application, but it takes a very long time.

And just a short walk later you are in Birmingham new street station (grand central)
A little bit about the two stations
Birmingham Snow Hill is a railway station in Birmingham City Centre, England. It is one of the three main city-centre stations in Birmingham along with Birmingham New Street and Birmingham Moor Street.
Snow Hill was once the main station of the Great Western Railway in Birmingham, and at its height it rivalled New Street station, with competitive services to destinations including London Paddington, Wolverhampton Low Level, Birkenhead Woodside, Wales and South West England. The station has been rebuilt several times since the first station at Snow Hill; a temporary wooden structure, was opened in 1852; it was rebuilt as a permanent station in 1871, and then rebuilt again on a much grander scale during 1906-1912. The electrification of the main line from London to New Street in the 1960s saw New Street favoured over Snow Hill, which saw most of its services withdrawn in the late 1960s. This led to the station's eventual closure in 1972, and demolition five years later. After fifteen years of closure a new Snow Hill station, the present incarnation, was built; it reopened in 1987.
Today, most of the trains using Snow Hill are local services on the Snow Hill Lines operated by West Midlands Railway, serving Worcester Shrub Hill, Kidderminster, Stourbridge Junction, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Solihull.
New street
Birmingham New Street is the largest and busiest of the three main railway stations in the Birmingham City Centre, England. It is a central hub of the British railway system. It is a major destination for Avanti West Coast services from London Euston, Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley via the West Coast Main Line, and the national hub of the CrossCountry network – the most extensive in Britain, with long-distance trains serving destinations from Aberdeen to Penzance. It is also a major hub for local and suburban services within the West Midlands.
The Cathedral Church of Saint Philip is the Church of England cathedral and the seat of the Bishop of Birmingham. Built as a parish church and consecrated in 1715, St Philip's became the cathedral of the newly formed Diocese of Birmingham in 1905. St Philip's was built in the early 18th century in the Baroque style by Thomas Archer and is located on Colmore Row, Birmingham, England.The cathedral is a Grade I listed building. St Philip's is the third smallest cathedral in England after Derby and Chelmsford.
St Philip's Church was planned when the nearby medieval church of St Martin in the Bull Ring became insufficient to house its congregation because of the growing population of Birmingham. The land, previously named the Barley Close, was donated by Robert Philips in 1710. It is one of the highest points in the district and is said to be at the same level as the cross on St Paul's Cathedral in London.

Places to see in ( Rayleigh - UK )
Rayleigh is a market town and civil parish in the District of Rochford in Essex, England, located between Chelmsford and Southend-on-Sea. It lies 32 miles to the east of central London. The name Rayleigh is Saxon in origin and is cognate to the German place name Rehlach of the same meaning[citation needed] . According to the English Place Names Society, Rayleigh derives from raege, and leah, meaning Female roe-deer stream or she-goat stream . According to the Rayleigh Civic Society, Roa is a Saxon word for Roebuck and Lea a pasture probably for goats.
In any case, the connection with deer continued through the centuries. Lands around Rayleigh were used as royal hunting forests for many hundreds of years. A deer was included in the coat of arms of Rayleigh Urban District Council, and in the early 2000s, a new pub was named the Roebuck.
From April 9th 2016 Rayleigh now has a Museum, Rayleigh Town Museum. Rayleigh used to have its own stadium, the Weir Stadium, where greyhound dog racing and speedway racing took place. Rayleigh Rockets Speedway team competed against other clubs from around the country in the late 1940s, early '50s, '60s and into the '70s. The stadium was situated adjacent to the Weir roundabout along the A127. Stock car and banger racing also took place there. The stadium was sold for redevelopment in the mid-1970s, and the site is now occupied by Sainsbury's and other retail stores. These stores are accessed via Stadium Way.
Rayleigh also used to feature a cinema, the Regal, located close to Mill Hall; retirement accommodation (called Homeregal House in memory of the Regal) is now in its place. Rayleigh Town Museum has a projector and extensive archives of the cinema. During the 1990s many new housing estates appeared on formerly greenfield areas of the town, with the East of England region currently pushing for even more homes to be built in the area. This has caused some controversy locally, with residents of Rayleigh feeling that the areas surrounding the town should be preserved with more care.
Rayleigh is served by two prominent modes of public transport; bus and train. The bus services are run by Arriva, First and Regal Busways and usually terminate at Rayleigh railway station. Abellio Greater Anglia run the rail line which leads from Southend Victoria to London Liverpool Street, stopping at Rayleigh, running every 10 minutes during rush hour. First Buses also operate an hourly coach service to Stansted Airport, numbered X30, which makes a stop at Rayleigh railway station.

Wickford is a town in the south of the English county of Essex, with a population of more than 33,000. Located approximately 30 miles (50 km) east of London, it falls within the Borough of Basildon along with the original town of Basildon, Billericay, Laindon and Pitsea. However, parts of Wickford fall under neighbouring districts such as Chelmsford and Rochford.
Wickford has become a commuter town, serving the City of London through its direct connection to Liverpool Street station through the Southend Victoria line, on which a train to London takes approximately 40 minutes. The town can also be easily reached via the road network by the A127 between London and Southend-on-Sea or by the A130 from Chelmsford.
Wickford is a fairly small town with a main high street including a range of shops. A swimming pool, a library, an open-air market and a community centre are also within the vicinity of the town centre.
Including this, Wickford also incorporates a small estate called Shotgate, home to many residents. Shotgate features a row of village shops and a children's play area and park.
Wickford has a history going back over two thousand years. There is evidence that the area itself was inhabited in prehistoric times probably by a tribe of Britons called Trinovantes. There was a Roman military marching camp on the Beauchamps Farm site, which was succeeded by a Roman villa. This is now the site of Beauchamps High School. This area on higher ground was the historic core of Wickford, the site of the manor house and the parish church of St Catherine's. Over time the commercial centre of Wickford has migrated westwards, towards the modern High Street on the other side of the River Crouch.
For the most part, Wickford is flat and 10 metres (33 ft) above sea level. The highest point, on the outskirts of the town, is 74 metres (243 ft) above sea level. The River Crouch flows through the town, from the west to the east. The River Wick flows into the River Crouch from the south.
The Wick Country Park comprises 50 acres (20 ha) of former agricultural land, with over 2 km of easy access trails around the site. The trails leads visitors past old hedgerows, the 5-acre (2.0 ha) lake, ponds, World War II pillboxes and recent woodland plantings, with bridges and boardwalks that allow the trails to continue over the North Benfleet brook.
