Southend Timeline in partnership with Village Green are launching an exciting new project, to capture:
We think this summer is going to be vintage; without a doubt worth bottling for the future.
- England could win the World Cup Whoops
- Andy Murray might become Wimbledon champion Maybe Next Year
- Mario could win the very last Big Brother (he's from Southend)
Come what may with the above, we still know the Southend Summer will be brilliant; and with your help we will fill a Virtual Time Capsule, to provide a unique digital snapshot of today for tomorrow. So what do we need?
- images, songs, stories, poems, commentary, opera, digital video, concert blogs, festival tales, radio,
- choirs, sketches, smiles, experiences, drama, art, life, gardens, jazz, folk, comedy, news, imagination
Want to get involved?

Sweet Sound Memories
Southend Timeline has been contacted by Charlotte who remembers the following
I am writing that I remember when I was about 18 months, my brother and I with my dad, we went on some ghost train in a pink house in the old peter pans' playground. There used to be like reflections on the ghost trains as well. However, it's not there anymore. I remember this experience quite vividly. It would be nice to know of what happenned to the little park of amusements that used to sit not far from where the old victorian lift has just been renovated, possibly Never Never Land.
Do you have memories of Never Never Land or the early days of Peter Pans?
Maybe
You too have sweet memories of Southend let us know... Click Here
