This shows the High Street (2008), looking north-east. It was photographed from the traffic island at the junction of Station Road, Rosemary Road and the High Street. The Scope charity shop on the left is now (2018) a Sense charity shop; in the 1950s it formed part of Barclays Bank with the Barclays building opposite visible in the picture. Earlier still (pre-1931), it housed Clacton Town Hall as well as the bank. The right-hand branch of Barclays is now a Coral bookmaker.
