The Railway Tavern, Brightlingsea
Brightlingsea has a Railway Tavern on Station Road but sadly no longer has any trains. Nevertheless, the pub has a good reputation for the beer it sells including those brewed in a microbrewery on the premises. The local Campaign for Real Ale branch describes their Crab and Winkle mild as a 'legend'.

Brightlingsea Community Centre
The community centre is an undistinguished building dating from 1975 but it does incorporate the Liberty Hall which has a capacity for 250 people. Even so, the rather scruffy sign could do with a spruce up. This was the site of Brightlingsea station at the end of a branch from Wivenhoe. The railway was closed in 1964 and the building demolished in 1969. This amateur film from 1963 captures the atmosphere of the line in its dying days: https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-river-ride-1963-online
