Gorgeous Weather at the Pier

The weather has been absolutely lovely here! Stephen took Cheeky and I to Clacton Pier.

Clacton Pier was one of the first buildings to be built in the new town of Clacton-on-Sea by a Peter Bruff. He was an engineer and the manager of the Eastern Union Railway. The Pier opened in July 1877. The novelty of the Pier for promenading soon became popular with the vast number of day-trippers arriving from London on paddle steamers.

We had fish and chips on the Pier...very traditional British thing to do. However, even in Summer, usually done all bundled up and being blasted by the winds! Not today!
