S.T. wherewasi

[rupertbear]

Would the station be Leigh-on-sea or South Benfleet for wherewasi 1.7.07? I cannot connect the 'shelling out.'.

[robertsa]

I have Leigh-on-Sea =3stops. the "shelling" is a reference to cockles (Cardiidae)

[wideboy]

I got Leigh-On-Sea because it is 'famous' for its cockles. It's the third station because the author starts at Southend Central, not Westcliff-On-Sea.

Wikipedia is good for the 'next' and 'previous' stations:-

Thanks a lot , robertsa and wideboy, for your help.
It's been years since I was down that way.. Hope I can reciprocate sometime.
