Why Visit Leigh?
Leigh is a costal town built on the Thames Estuary off the North Sea. From sandy beaches and marshland a trip up “The Cliffs” brings you too a picturesque town full of restaurants, pubs and small niche shops. Spreading out from the town centre are many residential properties broken up by trees & parks.
As of 2001: 9,015 people live in Leigh with 5606 people at working age. Leigh’s within the Borough of Southend with a population of 158,800 people and 74,300 households. In 2004 unemployment was at 2.9%. There are approximately 468 km of highways and 13 km of sea -defences.
A beautiful National Nature Reserve, 6 parks and one a golf course is reason enough to visit Leigh. When you add a 15th Century Church, The Grand Hotel (once visited by Laurel and Hardy), a family beach, a warm summer’s day and cold beer in Old Leigh... its even easy to stay!
