Southend Court House, Court building in Victoria Avenue, Southend-on-Sea, England
The Southend Court House features an asymmetrical frontage with 30 bays of concrete and glass construction facing Victoria Avenue.
The courthouse, built in 1966 by architect Patrick Burridge, replaced the former Alexandra Street courthouse that operated since 1883.
The building houses both Crown Court criminal proceedings and County Court civil cases, serving the judicial needs of Southend-on-Sea residents.
The court facility contains two courtrooms designed to handle an increasing number of local cases in the Essex region.
A bronze sculpture titled Leda and the Swan was commissioned for the courthouse but required relocation due to content concerns.
