On my father's birth certificate, he is listed as being born The Cut, Beaumont. I have been unable to find this on any map...The Cut, that is!

Beaumont cut - Beaumont
Beaumont in Essex's full name is Beaumont-cum-Moze. The cut is where the river joins the sea. A marshy area between Beaumont village and Thorpe-le-Soken. Follow directions for Beaumont Quay. Much of this land had been left to a London Hospital (Guy's I think). There are two or three farms in this area. Long ago there had been a building by the Quay front, built with bricks from one of Londons bridges. I don't know if this was a warehouse/hospital or was lived in. Only the foundation remains.
