		Southend began to develop rapidly as a sea-side resort in the closing years of the 19th century, and the church true to its ancient mission, began to cater for an increasing population by establishing mission churches, many of which in course of time became separate parochial foundations.
		Briggs, Curate of Prittlewell who had been elected a member of the committee in May 1891, was the first priest to be put in charge of this new mission centre.
		In July an anonymous donor gave £300 on condition that another £500 was raised within a reasonable period, and that the St. Alban's Mission District be formed as soon as possible into a separate and distinct ecclesiastical parish and further that the first part of the building to be put in hand be the nave.

		Although photographs of the finds will be on display as part of our proposed redisplay at the Priory, (the story of Prittlewell), it is important that these finds are interpreted within the context of the archaeology and history of the whole of south east Essex.
		The importance and relevance of the tomb cannot be understood if it is divorced from such background, since it is an integral part of that archaeology and history.
		The fishponds in Priory Park are fed by a spring, and this may be the one from which the place got its name.

		Comparison of the Prittlewell chamber with the finer graves at Sutton Hoo is inevitable, and appropriate.
		Yet Prittlewell is still more impressive, with more bowls, buckets and cauldrons, an exceptional collection of 57 gaming pieces and two dice, iron standard and silver spoon, and further items that are, as far as we know, unique in Britain: folding stool, gold crosses and Byzantine flagon.
		At Prittlewell, however, the spoon is unusually worn, and amongst the many fine scratches are the unmistakable marks of inscriptions likely to have been made locally rather than in the eastern Mediterranean.

	Royal saxon tomb in Prittlewell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the autumn of 2003, in preparation for a road-widening scheme, an archaeological survey was carried out on a plot of land to the north-east of Priory Park in Prittlewell, Essex (north of Southend-on-Sea).
		The archaeologists were lucky in the placement of their trench and uncovered a set of Saxon remains.
		The artefacts found were of a quality that it is likely that Prittlewell was a tomb of one of the Kings of Essex and the discovery of golden foil crosses indicates that the inhabitant was an early Christian.

		The capital cost of establishing a trolleybus route was much less than that of a tramway and whilst more expensive initially than motor buses (because of the overhead equipment) they were easier to drive and maintain and used locally generated electricity.
		Thus from January 21st, 1932 the Prittlewell trolleys were extended along Fairfax Drive from Priory Park to Eastwood Boulevard.
		In the summer of 1934 a short branch was opened along Marine Parade to the foot of Pier Hill, being served either by the Prittlewell or Hamstel Road routes.

		Only the Prittlewell route was not converted and instead, in order to increase the service frequency, the High Street to Blue Boar tram service was augmented from October 16th, 1925 by trolleybuses running from Victoria Circus to the Blue Boar.
		The poor condition of the track in Victoria Avenue and the success of the trolleys led to the complete closure of the Prittlewell route on December 18th, 1928.
		The viability of trolleybus operation had been proved on the Prittlewell route and it was apparent that it would be much cheaper to extend the trackless route than to lay new tram tracks.
