Basildon, Essex

A post-war new town. The town centre is pedestrianised and has the quality of all post-war new towns - ambition that's aged in interesting ways. The market is good.

Best time: market days. Saturday.

Look for: the new town as a document of post-war planning. The market. The everyday life of a town that wasn't built for aesthetics.

Camera Settings

Any.
