The Crow Stone, Chalkwell , Southend-on-Sea.

I've taken lots and lots of photos of this in the past few months and used quite a few of them as blips.

I googled it this evening so that I could explain what it is in case anyone was interested!

The Crow Stone marks the limit of the Port of London Authority's jurisdiction. It was erected in 1837 and replaced a smaller stone, dating from 1755. The older stone was removed to Priory Park in Southend where it remains today.

Anyway - it was a gloriously sunny day today apart from the half an hour I had to take photos. Came back from my little excursion to the beach with a set of rather gloomy looking pictures.
