The frontage of Leigh-on-Sea station just catches the late evening sunshine and marks our final stop for the day before heading for home in the white Nissan Micra parked up (quite illegally!) in the foreground. This is the second station building at Leigh replacing the earlier 1855 building in 1934 and built unashamedly in the style of the era. A notable feature is the four-sided clock tower with its white-painted stone inserts matched by a second one on the up (south) side of the station. . Notice the clear view of the north Kent coast across the Thames Estuary to the extreme left.
