The Laindon Hotel
The Laindon Hotel built in 1896, stood in High Road, Laindon between Durham Road and Aston Road.

During the pubs early years, Seabrooke and Sons Ltd, of Grays provided the ale. In 1929 brewery giant Charrington & Co Ltd acquired the pub which from 1967 became part of the Bass Charrington chain. It was still known as the Laindon Hotel in the mid 1970s, but was renamed 'The Laindon' sometime later.

It closed in the late 1980s and lay empty for several years before a series of arson attacks rendered its condition a danger and despite having a grade 2 listed building status was demolished during April 1991.

The football pitch seen directly behind the building was used by various teams including the Berry Boys, and the pubs own Laindon Hotel team.

The site, more than 15 years later, is now overgrown and still awaiting some kind of development.
