Clacton-On-Sea railway station on rail replacement. New to Tellings-Golden Miller for the 726 Green Line coach service. Volvo B10BLE Alexander ALX300 B44F.
Here we see a view of Clacton station with the signal box and the searchlight signals with the 1305 departure to London Liverpool Street almost ready to go and C44 showing green. There are a number of searchlights left at Clacton station and on the approaches all of which should have gone with the rest of the ones in the area a few years back but they still remain in operation today being the last in the area. The only others on Network Rail I am aware of are at Nottingham.

Considering that this is only ten minutes walk from Clacton-on-Sea's town centre, I have quite a large back garden. The picture shows only part of it. At the back of the bungalow you can see a square extension with a flat roof that my wife Heather and I had built on nearly twentyfive years ago. This houses a fridge, freezer, tumbler dryer and spin dryer.
It also provides an 'air lock' between the kitchen and the outside air, contributing to the warmth and comfort of the kitchen.
Immediately behind the camera are two apple trees. On the left is a Bramley cooking apple tree (you can see one of the apples on the left of the picture) and on the right an eating apple tree. Round the eating apple tree a large number of bulbs have been naturalised and in the spring there is usually a good show of snowdrops, crocuses and daffodils. Heather loved those spring flowering bulbs and the annual blossoming of the apple tree. It was because of this that it was round this tree that I performed the sad task of scattering her ashes.
Nearby is a winterflowering cherry that provides a little colour during the winter months.
Further back still is a plot of cultivated land where I used to grow potatoes, brassicas,
broad beans, runner beans and peas, tomatoes, courgettes and sweet peas. I am no
longer able to do gardening and rely on a professional gardener to keep things tidy.
The rear boundary of the garden is marked by a high brick wall. In front of this are four silver birches which my wife and I brought back as tiny saplings nearly twenty years ago from the garden of a friend who lived on the edge of Dartmoor. They are now substantial, and very beautiful, trees.
Another view of the garden can be seen where ''Dad plays with Zoe'. 'Dad' is Chris Hall's father (my elder son Pete) and Zoe is the family's pet dog - a very friendly and now rather elderly boxer.

Clacton-on-Sea is the largest town in the Tendring peninsula and district in Essex, eastern England, and was founded as an urban district in 1871. It is a seaside resort that saw a peak of tourists in the summer months between the 1950s and 1970s.
The town's economy continues to rely significantly on entertainment and day-trip facilities and it is strong in the service sector, with a large retired population. The north-west part of the town has two business/industrial parks. In the wider district, agriculture and occupations connected to the Port of Harwich provide further employment.

These latest collection of images have been photographed over a long period of time. The greater part has been taken when I have visited a church in that town or village. Some of the villages are so small that apart from a few houses which I won’t post, have no significant features to them that I could find, apart from the village signs. Some of the larger towns have had the greater share of visits, because of their churches and to my book buying travels.
As usual with my stuff, please enjoy.

St Paul, Clacton on Sea, Essex
This is one of the most important post-war Anglican churches in East Anglia. It was built in 1965 to the design of Ray Gould, and is full of 1960s confidence. It is entirely Anglican - the holy end, the pulpit and lectern, the lady chapel - it really couldn't be anything else. The exterior is dramatic with an unsymmetrical rising bell tower. To the west of the church is an ecclesiastical village - the hall, offices, the rectory, etc. It is hard to imagine that a CofE church of this scale and confidence will be built in England again, since they all seem to be ecumenical sheds these days. The east end is focused on a vast dalle de verre window by Rosemary Rutherford (Hinderclay, Boxford, Bradfield St Lawrence, etc). The other windows in the church are resettings of earlier windows by her from the preceding Victorian church. The church gets a full page in the colour plates section of the revised Pevsner, with as many photos as Thaxted church gets. The couple on duty were delightful, and insisted on showing me around. The church's presence is enhanced by its somewhat suburban setting, albeit only a few hundred yards from Clacton's main drag.
