Wharfe Riverside (Smugglers Den Club) - 315 Ferry Road

I think it should be on the list because of it's character and history. I had my wedding reception here simply because of it!

This building is of historic significance. The original building was a storage barn which received goods, from Thames Barges, which were later transported teh goods further down river to Battlesbridge Mill. The barn pre dates 1800.
The barn was converted late 1800's into Hullbridge Pavillion which along with the Anchor Cottages were the final destination of tourists on Mystery Tours running from Southend Seafront. the building still has some of the original beams of the barn and the landing jetty still exists although erosion has taken its toll.

This building should be on the list to be kept.
