About

Prittlewell is a residential area situated just north of Southend-on-Sea's town centre. The ward is anchored by its historic high street, which runs from the railway station towards Priory Park. This green space contains the ruins of a medieval priory and a large pond, serving as a community focal point. The housing stock is primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, alongside some inter-war semi-detached homes, reflecting the area's development as a suburb during the railway's expansion.

The area is defined by its direct rail connection to London, which historically spurred its growth. Prittlewell Square and the surrounding conservation area preserve many original architectural features. Local commerce is concentrated along the high street, providing everyday services. The ward's western boundary is formed by the railway line, separating it from more modern developments, while to the east it extends towards the residential streets near Southend Hospital.
