Kursaal Conservation Area Appraisal Survey
Kursaal Conservation Area was designated in 1989. It is located to the south-east of central Southend, sitting at the junction between Eastern Esplanade, Marine Parade and Southchurch Avenue, meaning that it faces both the seafront to the south and the town centre to the west. The Conservation Area is centred on the grand entrance to the former Marine Park, known as ‘The Kursaal’. The Conservation Area also comprises a Victorian terrace of three shops with residential accommodation above, book-ended by two larger commercial buildings. The Kursaal development marks part of the rapid expansion of Southend as a seaside resort town from the late 19th century, and the area sits at the eastern fringe of Southend’s ‘Golden Mile’ of seafront amusements and visitor attractions along Marine Parade.
The Conservation Area Appraisal for Kursaal has been produced and is available to review.
