Laindon is a town located in the west of the Basildon district of Essex, England.
It is located north of Laindon railway station on the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway. South of the railway station and line, in Thurrock, is Langdon Hills. Laindon and Langdon Hills are part of the Basildon post town.[1]
Until its abolition in 1937, there was a Laindon parish. In 1931 it covered an area of 2,049 acres and had a population of 4,552. 100 years earlier, in 1831, the population was 412 and the area covered was 4,680 acres.[2] Three detachments of the parish were removed in 1880 and 1889.
To the south-west of Laindon, the Dunton Plotlands was an area of small plots of land used as weekend cottages or smallholdings during the mid twentieth century.
