One of my law offices was at Southend and another at Benfleet (by The Tarpots Public House) so i know the are well and in the latest of your “Saxon” series” “The Burning Land” I was interested in what you had to say about that are which i knew well from my practicing there under the name Nairnsey, Fisher & Co. I now live permanently in Florida and having deserted the Law spend my time now lecturing – would you believe – on musical theatre? Love to hear from you concerning the Benfleet/Canvy Island/ Thundersley area. Ian R.B. Nairnsey
