This is the entrance (the set of blue doors furthest to right, beneath the sloping roof) to Clacton Leisure Centre, which was built in 1987. The picture was taken from the car park.

A view of the southern part of the recreation ground, taken from the south-eastern corner. To the left in the foreground is a fence marking the boundary with Clacton County High School. Just beyond the trees on the left are buildings belonging to Clacton Leisure Centre; in the far distance on the horizon is the railway line, the footbridge painted green being visible. To the right on the horizon, just visible beyond the railway line, are buildings on the industrial estate on Oxford Road and beyond them housing. See Image taken at the same time.

Taken from the footbridge which crosses the railway line north-east of Clacton Railway Station, connecting Oxford Road with Clacton Leisure Centre and the recreation ground. To the right of picture is the railway line, with buildings on the industrial estate on Oxford Road visible. To the left are tennis courts forming part of the grounds of the leisure centre, with a children's play area beyond. Housing can be seen near the horizon. The footbridge is marked "FB" on Ordnance Survey maps. See Image and Image

The trackwork is viewed here from the Oxford Road footbridge, looking towards Clacton-on-Sea station. Old large scale Ordnance Survey maps show that there were at least 6 parallel tracks through here when the railway was at its peak.

This is a close-up of the footbridge over the railway line on Oxford Road, Clacton, the entrance to which is shown from the opposite pavement in Image Beyond the railway line are Clacton Leisure Centre, its grounds and the neighbouring recreation ground.

The trackwork is viewed here from the Oxford Road footbridge, looking away from Clacton-on-Sea station. Old large scale Ordnance Survey maps show that the engine shed used to be on the concrete pad to the left where the green containers are now. Zooming into the photograph shows that the trackwork is still extant there.

The photograph shows the entrance on Oxford Road, Clacton, to a footbridge over the railway line, taken from the opposite pavement of the street.
