York Road market

[Mad Cyril]

I spent a couple of hours strolling around Southend on Saturday with my son and was amazed to see York Road market has shut down.

Can anyone tell me when this happened?

Closed down for health and safety reasons. ie its falling down a couple of months ago or so.

Is Victoria Shoes still hanging in there? If so, surely it must now be the longest surviving shop in Southend Central?

I went in there Saturday because they used to admire they type of cream/off white cuban heeled of slip ons with gold chains and fancy leatherwork in which they used to specialise.

Unfortunately they have gone all contemporary and Southend is a poorer place because of it.

Fields on Hamlet Court Road is still flying the flag of quality footwear. With its excellent range of Gabicci polo shirts, it's a one stop shop for the man who wants to dress like an extra from 'The Long Good Friday'.

Some of the merchandise in Victoria Shoes made the likes of John Gotti look like they were wearing orthapedic shoes in comparison.

I bought a bright red bobble hat with yellow stripes from Fields.
I know, it sounds the business doesn't it?

In reality though, it makes me look a complete ****.

Kind Regards

I think Cousin Eddie purchased the white loafers that he presented to Clark W Griswold at Vic Shoes.
