Station Lane was once a through road linking the High Road
with Pitsea railway station. The
first Pitsea market opened in 1925 and had an entrance in
Station Lane. The war memorial once stood pride of place at the head of the junction until its
removal in 1969 to Howard Park.In the late 1960s during the creation of the A132 South Mayne flyover and roundabout and future A13 Pitsea flyover, Station Lane was shortened to become a cul-de-sac. To accommodate the new road layout the Pitsea market was moved in 1969 to a former field opposite Station Lane, and to the south side of the High Road, into 4 purpose built dome structures. This arrangement lasted until the mid 1970s when the market was once again resited, this time to the rear of The Railway public house and the Broadway North shops.
