In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Milton like this:
MILTON, a hamlet in Prittlewell parish, Essex; close to Southend. Real property, £7,650; of which £570 are in fisheries. It was anciently a separate parish; but ceased to be so in consequence of part of it being swallowed up by the sea. Its church continued to be visible at low-water mark in the last century.
Milton is now part of SOUTHEND ON SEA Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how SOUTHEND ON SEA has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Milton itself, go to Statistics.
