You can tell us more about Clacton.

Favourite Building

• The new McCarthy and Stone retirement flats on the front.
• definitely the bogs on magdalen green - sure clears the head if you go in there
• 'A Cut Above' hair salon in pallister road, when Seagull was harpooned to the lightning conducter.
• The Martello Towers.The only thing in Clacton worth preserving.
• the signpost that says you are now leaving clacton
• The local mental Hospital
• Got to be the pier even thought it's run down and tacky, but there are funny memories.

• None the whole place is crap and should be bulldozed into the sea
• The Town & Country building, It looks impressive purley cos it's the only thing in clacton taller than a lamppost.
• THE JOB CENTRE CARNAVON ROAD
• The pier.......you just never know what day it will finally collapse after years of all night raves and much too heavy rollercoasters.
• The Martello Towers along Jaywick.(Now bricked up)
• Tom Peppers and Fibbers building. A big part of my "late" teens ie over 18 years ahhhhh the memories!!!!
• wimpey what a place to work, but he had a lovely daughter and a weird son who had a girlfriend with a beard

• Magdalen green toilets - especially after a good curry!
• "Magic City" is great, but if you're over the height of Jezz Rabbits hand, you can't get in. i grew taller than his hand in August 1987 and haven't been inside since. I wonder what it's like. . .
• The covered market. It is really charming and not at all full of dodgy wierdos who can't get a proper job. "Melodies" record and herb store. For the same reasons.
• somewhere down skelmersdale road where i lost it!!!!!
• The station hotel opposite railway station has been flattened and is now retirement flats.
• The Station Inn opposite the railway station (funnily enough!). I ain't been back to Clacton for a while, so it's probably gone now. (See Clubs for more info...)
• Clacton's Victoria Street Railway station is modern anodyne structure of such daring tenacity that the mind boggles. The revolutionary structure made entirely from Steel Glass and crushed mice corpses is truly triffic.
• Forge Cottage, Valley Road
• The John Lennon museum which features a calf eaten and then regurgetated by Lennon in 1965 before a concert
