This photograph was taken next to Burnham Court on the edge of Clacton's built-up area. On the left of the picture is the beach, on the right is the course of Clacton Golf Club (with the lake visible). In the centre is Martello Tower D (grade II listed, completed 1812), one of a series of small coastal forts built on the south and east coasts during the Napoleonic Wars. (The three Martello Towers between this one and Tower Road, Clacton, D to F, were all built between 1810 and 1812). On the horizon you can see housing in Jaywick. The Martello Tower is marked on Ordnance Survey maps.
