Gotta say the development looks better from the air than from the ground.
It would look even better razed to the ground!!!Gotta say the development looks better from the air than from the ground.

Progress indicates a positive progression.... I think the flats are more change than progress. Little stays the same and change can be great, but sitting outside The Anchor on a sunny day with a few beers on the go was a delight. By the sounds of it, not many of us think B'sea has changed for the better.So it is not Progress then
The Railway is probably one of the best pubs in Brightlingsea now!Progress indicates a positive progression.... I think the flats are more change than progress.

The Railway Tavern (or Inn?) was a good haunt too.
You must return! Pubs need us more than ever now and we should all do our bit - and that includes the bloody government. There's nowhere in the world like a good English or Welsh pub.I find it interesting hearing people talking about having a pint in the Pub and this was certainly something that me and her indoors liked to do pre March 2020. Since then we tend to take our picnic with us including a can or two of Beer/Cider. Not sure if this is a good thing or not. It is certainly easier on the wallet. Don't know if we will ever return to how we used to do it..... I guess time will tell

Yes, that yard belonged to the late Cyril White. Cyril was a real character who built superb wooden folkboats (amongst many others). There was a yard cat called Nelson...a vicious bloody thing...had one eye (other was lost in a fight), half an ear (lost in a fight) a stump of a tail (who knows!) and would hide in Cyrils wood pile waiting for rats and mice or someone daft enough to put a hand into the pile. Cyril always approached that pile with great trepidation! The yard is now run by Jon Brett who is keeping up the traditional boat building skills.
As for Cell Block H on the old James & Stone site...the less said the better!
