Innocent juxtaposition
Two single-storey commercial buildings next to one another in Old Road. A strange combination!

St. John the Baptist church, Great Clacton, Essex
It's hard to believe that before the Victorian era, Great Clacton was just a small village and Clacton-on-Sea would have been just farmland and perhaps the odd cottage. The whole of this area is now built up but you can pick out the original village buildings around the Norman church. The church was badly restored in 1865 but there is a lot of the old left to interest. The 15th century tower was never completed, hence the unusual timber structure on top.
