Classic Cafes: Westcliff/Essex special #1

Seaside Enclaves of the '50s & 60s

 
 


Westcliff-on-Sea's celebrated Rossi Refreshments. The Rossi family have been producing their famous ice-cream n the area for generations. These pictures show: original signage and logo; interior leatherette booths with views to the estuary; unique wicker and formica tables; and, several hundred feet down the esplanade, a small nautical themed caff built into one of several arches that run along the seafront. A must.
