  By the Dome it's Home is a refreshingly honest, nostalgic and thought provoking book, which details the loves, lives and times of the residents of Southend on Sea's Westgrange Drive Estate. The former site of the Kursaal amusement park and Southend United FC the area has a rich history, and is the backdrop to many a story. The accounts of the residents details War time Southend, first memories, people's reflections and aspirations, as well as stories about the estate today. This book bridges the gap between creed, nationality and generations. The book provides a sense of community for the residents as it focuses on the area, especially the famous Kursaal, to create a community spirit.
