I remember going on the Swing Boats at the Kursaal in Southend. It used to be a great amusement park/fairground.
It had a great dance hall, my mum and dad met there;as did many others of their generation.
It wasn't on the beach but a few hundred yards from it.
I used to see bands there when i was in my teens; had to walk home many a time....and was grounded!
