Walton on the Naze: beach hut view from pier
From Britain's second longest pleasure pier (Southend's being the longer one), we look across the water to the rows of beach huts which line the steep face behind the prom. The tide is fully in at the moment, meaning that there is no sand to be seen - but it would start receding shortly.

Walton-on-the-Naze: Seafront shelter
This functional concrete shelter nestles in the massed ranks of beach huts at the foot of Walton's shallow cliffs. One very useful feature of Walton's sea front is that each facility, such as a lifebelt or a public convenience, has a notice giving the distance in each direction along the front to the next facility of its kind.

Walton-on-the-Naze railway station
Opened in 1867 by the Great Eastern Railway as the terminus of its line from Colchester. View east towards the buffer stops. The original GER station building is still extant but no longer in railway use. At the end of the (slightly shortened) platform now is a more 'functional' structure.

Walton-on-the-Naze Station with steam train during the period of local electrification
View eastward, towards the buffer-stops; terminus of ex-GE branch from Thorpe-le-Soken on the Colchester - Clacton-on-Sea line. The lines from Colchester had been electrified in isolation from 16/3/1959, but electric services from London did not begin until 18/6/1962 and were not fully operational until January 1963. This steam train in March 1960 was the 12.47 to Liverpool Street, headed by N7/5 0-6-2T No. 69651.
