Description
Clacton-on-sea Pier 1890s with Fishing Boats
Long before cheap package holidays abroad, back in the late Victorian era, the crowds from London and Essex would flock to the relatively new town of Clacton-on-Sea to take in the bracing sea air. The town boasted a huge number of hotels, sandy beaches and a long pier from which steamers could be taken along the coast. Halfway along the pier the working boats would launch, some for fishing and others taking the new tourists out for a ride on the sea.
