"Since they are not located in Canterbury old town center, these very old churches do not appear on my Canterbury walking tour map. Nevertheless, they are both worth your time to visit as they represent the beginning of Christianity in England. St Augustine’s Abbey was founded by St Augustine, the first Archbishop of Canterbury, in 598."

"The longest pleasure pier in the world, Southend Pier pushes out for 2,158 metres into the Thames Estuary. The first wooden pier arrived in the 1830s and by 1848 had grown to something close to its present length. This was replaced by an iron construction in the 1880s, which still stands today, even after a series of fires, most recently in 2005."
