Of the thirty-one buildings of film entertainment included in this book only two multiplex picture houses survive, one in Southend and the other in Canvey. The author's intention is to document the history of these now demolished buildings, not only for our own benefit, but also for that of future generations, so that they may appreciate the importance of films and local cinemas in the town's history. As well as those in Southend, Leigh and Westcliff, also included are cinemas in Rayleigh and Hadleigh.
