Description
Clacton-on-sea Pier 1890s with Steamer
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.

Richard Reeve replied:
Thank you Meg. I know the town well as I lived here though my teenage years, although it seems a long time ago it didn't look quite like these images even then :-)
