SS2 - The North of Southend
SS2 is the North area of Southend and is predominantly a residential area incorporating the up-and-coming Southchurch Village (Comprising a wide range of Edwardian properties) and Prittlewell with its’ historic Priory Park area (“Southend” was so named as it was the “South End” of Prittlewell).
Virtually all areas of SS2 are within a mile or so of the seafront and town centre, but the streets are generally a little quieter in summer than the more tourist-orientated southern SS1 region. Many of the residents commute to the City.
