EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Holidaymakers on the Pier at Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, taken in the year 1907. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, as people dressed in their Sunday best gather at the edge of the pier, gazing out towards the vast expanse of the North Sea. Clacton-on-Sea, located in the English county of Essex, has been a popular seaside resort since the late 19th century. In the early 1900s, it was a place where working-class families could afford a day out by the sea, escaping the hustle and bustle of city life. The pier, which stretches out into the sea, was a focal point of the resort, providing entertainment and amusement for visitors. In this photograph, we can see a merry-go-round and other attractions located near the pier's entrance, adding to the excitement and joy of the day out. The women in the photograph are dressed in long, flowing skirts and blouses, while the men wear smart hats and suits. It is a reminder of the formal dress code that was common in the early 1900s, and the importance of making a good impression in public. The seafront, with its colorful beach huts and promenade, is dotted with other holidaymakers, enjoying the sunshine and the fresh sea air. The photograph captures the sense of joy and relaxation that comes with a day at the seaside, a tradition that continues to this day. This image from 1907 offers a unique insight into the history of Clacton-on-Sea and the people who visited it over a century ago. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of the seaside, and the importance of preserving our rich cultural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
