The picture shows the Comrades' Sports and Social Club in Old Road, taken from the opposite side of the street. The club was founded in 1920 by former servicemen following the end of the First World War. The original branch of the Comrades' Club is in Colne Road, Clacton; both premises are still in use. The Old Road building in this photograph was formerly a church, originally a Primitive Methodists' Chapel for approximately 40 years from 1863.
