Jaywick: Beach near Martello Tower C
The recent construction of the black rock breakwaters along the coast at and near to Clacton-on-Sea has radically altered the shape and location of the original sea/beach interface, which used to be generally parallel to the sea defence wall. Here the breakwater top right has created a sweeping bay.
The turbines of the Gunfleet Sands Wind Farm are visible out to sea.

Humber Avenue, Jaywick
Jaywick has earned an unenviable reputation in recent years after being named the most economically deprived area in the country. Yet it is no inner city slum, but rather a seaside resort consisting mainly of detached dwellings close to a sandy beach. The land was originally purchased in the 1920s by an entrepreneur called Frank Stedman who sold it off as small plots for Londoners to build holiday homes. The houses they built were generally rather flimsy and were never intended to be permanent dwellings and it is unlikely anybody envisaged that they would last as long as they have. However, after the Second World War a shortage of housing led to many of the properties becoming occupied on a permanent basis. Unlike many similar developments, Jaywick's sub-standard houses were never demolished and became home to many unemployed and elderly residents. This 1998 scene shows a street in the Brooklands area of the town.

Jaywick Ditch
Jaywick Ditch drains the land around and to the north of Jaywick village. This is the view looking upstream from the Cockett Wick Sluice which allows water to drain out through the sea defence wall into the North Sea. St Osyth Ditch enters at the left so this is the confluence between the two ditches.
