Crowstone Conservation Area Appraisal Survey
The Crowstone Conservation Area was designated in 1990. The original buildings that remain within Conservation Area, Crowstone House and No.7 Chalkwell Esplanade, show characteristics typical of the late-Victorian and Edwardian period of Southend’s rapid expansion, including: corner turrets, decorative gables, bay windows, grand entrances and white ornamentation. Crowstone House is the defining feature of the Conservation Area, a familiar and well-loved landmark on the esplanade. It was built in 1905 as a house but was subsequently extended and converted to a ladies school by a Miss O’Meara in 1913. It is now a care home.
