Shoebury is a mix to be fair. It's like Leigh. It's always had a reputation. It has really nice areas, and it has some very bad estates. Nothing wrong with the Bishopsteignton Estate, which some mistake as being part of Thorpe Bay. Some great roads and houses. Saxon Gardens area has always been bad, where the council tend to house problem family's and problem single people. The pubs are very safe now, since the Cambridge, The Sportsman and The Eagle club shut down.

I was brought up in Shoebury and Thorpe Bay, I have fond memories. I'm not quite sure why someone would want to have a dig at it on here, knowing people on the Zone live there.

Maybe they've had too much sun ;)

SUFC had a good crew from Shoebury in the 70's.

Shoebury isn’t a bad area at all. It’s by the sea and (most) people are friendly. Those who slag it off didn’t grow up there, clearly.

The Shore house has gone thru several image changes and make overs. In the early 80s it was really buzzing with a piano and cocktail bars.
The Angel was also very much the place when it opened.

Most people that live there will tell you it's Thorpe Bay too. They couldn't possibly admit to living in Shoebury.

Saxon Gardens and Bunters Avenue were the two areas to be wary of when I was growing up in Shoebury, but some great areas in Shoebury.

The Garrison is pretty swanky these days, but I lived on Caulfield Road and later Church Road and both are great, near the beach, decent housing, safe, Gunners Park and East Beach in walking distance.

Not got the bars and restaurants of Leigh and so have you, but a nice place to live.
