Essex – It’s “the only way”
Essex was ruled by a Celtic tribe prior to the arrival of the Romans, but the county has been influenced by many others, including of course Saxons and Normans. The county itself took its name from the Kingdom of Essex, founded by Aescwine in 527 AD. It became part of the Kingdom of Wessex in 825 AD, but was later ceded to the Kingdom of East Anglia.
The county developed considerably following the arrival of the railways, which were mainly expected to help transport goods and cater for commuter traffic. However, they accidentally created holiday resorts in the region.
The county has attracted some recent ‘fame’ following the semi-reality TV show called “The Only Way Is Essex”, although it has also received some criticism for its negative representation of Essex and it has even been called “the worst thing on television”
