JACOBS, NORMAN. — Clacton in Camera. A Nostalgic Record.

Farnborough: Saint Michael's Abbey Press, 1984. 0907077277. "It is most unusual for a town to be able to point to a specific date and say 'That's when our history started'. But the date 18 July 1871 could be said to be such a date for Clacton-on-Sea, for it was on that day that the S.S. Queen of the Orwell arrived at the newly opened pier to disembark the town's first day trippers from London." 20.5cms x 29.5cms. Pp.40, sepia photographs throughout cover the period 1871-1939. Stiff card illustrated covers have fading to front spine and lower edges. G+.
