It's obviously not Shrewsbury as the filth aren't spraying people in the face.

From my limited knowledge - I would suggest this was from the original
Skins 1968/9.Dont think we played Southend then - so maybe a Bank holiday away day.Great photo tho

We played two pre season friendlies at Southend back in the day. The pic above probably relates to 5/8/67 judging by the clobber. The other friendly was 5/8/77 so flares then or punk.
We played three league games in the 70s two on a Friday night both in September and one on a Boxing Day which was on a Wednesday.
It could have been the first Friday game Sept72 but the fashion is wrong but somebody on here can put me right.

69 and the fashion would have been cappers and skinhead haircuts. They are wearing DMs which makes me think early 70s.

Not sure about that. By the seventies everybody had started trading their DMs for higher legged ones and were wearing the uniform Harrington jacket, jeans with a small turn up or brogue(‘squire’) shoes . The hair looks too long for it to be 68 - 70. I’m probably totally wrong but I’d pitch that photo more like 67 which fits with the August 67 game mentioned

We have a winner, IMHO

Possibly. Can anyone remember when Monkey boots fitted in? I can remember getting a pair in the Village.

I had a pair of monkey boots as my legs were too short for DM's

This what it looks like now, unfortunately.

It was a very cold house, with no central heating, and metal window frames. I suppose changing the windows would have made the house more energy efficient.

But I loved it when JS or my dad lit the fire in the living room in the morning. The whole house would warm up slowly. Winters were very cold in the 1960s. I remember my jeans being frozen when I tried the put them on in the morning.

I’m surprised no one has taken the carriage no. and said it’s possibly the 11.47 out of Fenchurch St.

I got my first high leg DM’s from Sams The day we beat Villa home 3-0. So that was 1970. Monkey boots about a year later.

What number was it?

I can’t find sold price.....but current Zoopla estimate is 797k

I hope the roof is now red

Jimmy Seed’s house, built in the early 1930s.
It ‘overlooked’ Sundridge Park Golf club, although the view was blocked by trees.

The roof tiles were green.

The house to the right of the picture was (and still is I think) owned by an anesthetist and his wife. Their son Stephen was may best mate back then. He went to Dulwich school. I think he lives in Scotland now.
During WW2 an incendiary bomb went through the roof and landed on the landing (!) without exploding. JS carried it out into the street, and was later told off for that by the police. Ironic seeing he was Observer Corps.

I reckon it is 67. I was at the 72 game and the fashion isn’t quite right.

I was at all three of the games in the early 70s. And would have guessed that photo was late 60's.
But I think a previous poster has said it's not football related.

Sadly, this great photo apparently isn't related to football. It's on the Getty Images site, with the caption: "Skinheads arriving at Southend Victoria railway station are lined up to receive advice from police not to get into groups of three or more during their Spring Bank Holiday visit to the seaside town, 25 May 1970." What a daft order from the Old Bill!

That is so tenuous.
