Marine Parade West, Clacton-on-Sea old postcard 1960s

Same publisher as the next two cards, but we're definitely in the '60s here (it was sent on 5th August 1969).

 

Riley at the front? Early Minx behind the Anglia?

 

The 1930s roller coaster known as Stella is visible on the pier. After the 1973 fire it was replaced in the 1980s by a modern tubular steel roller coaster, I went on that one a few times. Apparently it was called Whirlwind.

 

Card sent at a cost of 4D to an address in Coggeshall, Essex. Published by D. Constance Ltd, ref. K. 411.
