Where the name comes from
Named after the coastal town of Shoeburyness in Essex, a garrison town that grew around barracks built in the parish of South Shoebury in the 1850s. It took its name from the ness, or headland, on the coast at the southern end of the parish.
Worth knowing: In 1849 the Board of Ordnance bought land at South Shoebury for an artillery testing and practice range.
