Industrial South East England : the official handbook of the South East England Development Board : edit : J. A. Crompton : E. J. Burrow & Co. Ltd. : Cheltenham : nd [1959]

            This seems to be one of a series of "official handbooks" issued by some of the Regional Development Boards to promote trade, industries and business in their region. Like many municipal handbooks they turned to the well known publishers of such volumes; E. J. Burrow of Cheltenham.

The South East England Development Board covered the Counties of Essex and Kent as well as, given the inclusion of one lone London borough St. Pancras Metropolitan Borough Council, London. The Board had various local authority members other than the County Councils and included both the Harlow Development Corporations in Essex. The Port of London Authority appears as does the local Gas Board (but not the Electricity Board!) and some other societies and institutions.

The handbook gives a good introduction to the area and its towns, alongs with the industries and developments underway such as a section on the construction of the new Dartford Tunnel that would physically connect both counties. Undated the text does eventually give c.1959 as the year. The front cover has been badly damaged by someone removing a sticker so there has been, unusually for me, a degree of photo reconstruction here.
