Among
the many side shows and stalls that were such a feature of the
Marine Park and Kursaal was the Pot-Em stall, seen here probably
shortly before the First World War.
Although
the main entrance to the Kursaal was via the “vestibule” below
George Sherrin’s dome, there was also aseparate
entrance to the “Gardens”.

Compare
this aerial photograph of the Kursaal (about 1920) with the plan.
One of the most prominent of the “rides” is the Aerial Flight.
Notice also the plot of land to the right; this was to become the
home of Southend United Football Club until 1934.
