A short history of Clacton-on-Sea
Clachintuna is the name given to the village in the Domesday Book in 1086. In 1810 five Martello Towers went up along the shore, after the army had surveyed the coast as a possible landing place for an invasion. In 1865 Peter Bruff, William Jackson and other businessmen bought farmland south-east of Great Clacton to found a resort, named Clacton-on-Sea to set it apart from the older village. The pier opened in 1871 and the railway followed in 1882. The two settlements formed one urban district from 1895 to 1974. A German bomber crashed near Vista Road on 30 April 1940 and bombs hit Wagstaff Corner in May 1941. A tornado struck on 23 November 1981.
