As a resident, newcomer to the area, or someone who is relocating locally, we would like to take a few moments of your time to provide you with a brief introduction to KERA (the Kilworth Estate Residents Association) by telling you a little of the area’s background and what the Association, under different Resident Association names, has been able to achieve over the past 20 and more years, not only for the benefit of its members but, through their support, for all the residents of the Kilworth Estate Area.
The Killworth Estate was built on fields and orchards between Porters Civic House & Southchurch Hall. The Estate land ownership was transferred in 1868 by Francis Letitia Philippa Kelso, widow of the 2nd past the said Edward Killworth of Southchurch Hall and covered the area between the Manor referred to as Porters Situate and the messuage & fields of Southchurch Hall which had been previously run as a farm by the wealthy Killworth family.
The Killworth Estate was built around the 1900's, mainly comprising of large grand houses . During the 1970’s, 80’s, 90’s and beyond, due to the large size of the properties, single properties were bought and split into 2, 3, 4,5,6,7 & 8 different dwellings.
We are developing KERA beyond its historical boundaries into the immediate surrounding areas, enabling even more residents in the whole of Southend to benefit from the legal and planning expertise we have built up and our knowledge of the workings of the local council. To be successful and to make our voice even stronger on local issues, we need more members in the Southchurch area, and other parts of Southend that lie outside the original boundaries of the Kilworth Estate. Our vision is to make Kilworth Estate the best of areas in which to live, by working to improve facilities, helping as many residents as we can and engendering a spirit of community in the area through our activities and the sharing of common objectives
We hope that you will want to join us and we look forward to welcoming you and your family as members of the Association. As members you can request access to the WhatsApp group and/or Facebook, these groups discuss local issues of interest or concern to residents of the Kilworth Estate. You will be welcome to the Association’s General Meetings, and other events arranged, such as Coffee Mornings & Open Gardens afternoons.
