A collection of cool Essex-centric bits and bobs we’ve come across recently.

Firstly, feast your eyes on Catherine Hyland’s surreal and beautiful photographs of radical Essex buildings, as rounded up by the Guardian.

Secondly, an exhibition of the very same’s photographs, on show at Twenty One Gallery, Southend, until the end of October.

And finally comes Mark Massey’s ‘Essex Chronicles’ newspaper. Cracking.
