I lived here for a spell and worked at Read House for about 4 years... you have nailed the place dead on! I love telling people about this weird little corner of the world and I love coming back, if only to sit and people-watch from Memorial Bench or outside the chocolate shop.<br />Afraid you missed out on lots and lots of churches though! It's got to have the most churches per square mile I've ever seen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577690842015668053.post-1520377392903498492016-06-15T11:12:36.153+01:002016-06-15T11:12:36.153+01:00https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/apr/20/frinton...https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2009/apr/20/frinton-on-sea-railway-gates<br />an update on the barriers, although i suspect that doing it at 2am on a Saturday had more to do with no trains running than a covert operation, the vision in my mind of railway people in night vision goggles trying to quietly remove the gates did make me smile.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07310489402101034904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577690842015668053.post-19057083458844261362015-05-27T17:58:51.707+01:002015-05-27T17:58:51.707+01:00A great read.

Have watched and thoroughly enjoyed the mini doc repeatedly! <br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b009f3bh <br /><br />Online found that the BBC write-up is heavily slanted about the elderly of the town, stating that the village is "the most conservative", "doesn't like change", and refers to a peaceful demonstration as "a call to arms"...really! What an utterly ungracious, undignified, and narrow-minded view of the elderly.<br /><br />There is no reference to the fact that these elderly people are fully active, independent, voice their views, protect their rights, etc. A very sad day when the elderly cannot live out their lives without the negative impact of a fast-changing world which does not recognize the contributions of the elderly to bringing about the present generation. Must the elderly change? It seems all one-sided. I find the elderly so fascinating and would never attempt to edit what time has done to create so sparkling a diamond.<br /><br />The guard barrier issue could have been handled in a much more considerate and discrete way. Educating the towns people with a publicly shown video, for example, on the use in other communities of similar guard barriers could have helped enormously. The public hearing was a farce; the towns people clearly were being given some rubbish explanation to justify the train company agenda without any respect for the intelligence of those in the audience. Offensive, high-handed, and dictatorial.<br /><br />Of course there must be changes made and yet somehow in a sympathetic and respectful way, complementing the town and its memory. <br /><br />Thanks for your very interesting blog entry, loved it, and will come back to re-read it often!Antedon Bifidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126755020780724168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7577690842015668053.post-41189755063807099412012-12-31T18:05:57.300+00:002012-12-31T18:05:57.300+00:00How did I miss this programme?
