The Kursaal is a Grade II listed building〔(The Kursaal, Southend-on-sea ), British Listed Buildings, accessed 18 January 2013〕 in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, which opened in 1901 as one of the world's first purpose-built amusement parks. The venue is noted for the main building with distinctive dome, designed by Campbell Sherrin, and which has featured on a Royal Mail special edition stamp. ==History== The venue was opened in 1894 by father and son Alfred and Bernard Wiltshire Tollhurst, on four acres of land purchased the previous year, as the 'Marine Park and Gardens'. In 1901, they opened a grand entrance pavilion, called the Kursaal, designed by Campbell Sherrin, containing a circus, ballroom, arcade, dining hall and billiard room. The word Kursaal is German, meaning a "Cure Hall" or spa, and it seems to have been adapted to mean a place of healthy amusement. Southend's Kursaal became the largest fairground in the south of England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rochfordessex.net/southend/A%20Brief%20History%20of%20Southend2.htm )〕
