Lamp-post base on Marine Parade West
The photograph shows the ornamental base of a lamp-post standard on the promenade, Marine Parade West. Nelson Road recedes behind the lamp-post in the picture.
A red-brick block of flats now occupies the fenced-off space on the corner of Nelson Road visible in the background.
Most lamp-posts of this design, which formerly lined Clacton seafront, had their upper sections dismantled in 2014, including this one. (They had not worked for some years and Tendring District Council feared accidents caused by falling corroded metalwork).
Members of the United Kingdom Association of Street Lighting Enthusiasts suggest on their website www.ukastle.co.uk that these Clacton seafront lamp-posts were probably late Victorian in date and certainly made by the firm Johnson and Phillips.

Nelson Road, Clacton-on-Sea
Residential street leading off seafront; photographed from promenade on Marine Parade West. Nelson Road leads from Marine Parade West to Freeland Road. This and neighbouring streets (Trafalgar Road, St Vincent Road, Collingwood Road) were named after Nelson, his victory and his associates.
Nelson Road is the last street running off the seafront when heading southwest to be entirely within the grid square TM 1714 on Ordnance Survey maps.

Clacton-on-Sea: Model Yacht Pond
This amenity is at the south-west end of the formal seafront gardens, and on the south-east side of Marine Parade West.
The first Ordnance Survey large scale map available online that shows such a pond here dates from 1939. This one and all subsequent ones available show a more elaborate feature with rounded ends rather than the simple rectangular shape of the present one.
A local council noticeboard nearby describes the amenity, somewhat bizarrely, as "favourable with young and old, residents and non residents"...
