JAYWICK SANDS, Essex. Aerial photograph taken on 2nd February 1953 showing flooded housing following the great East Coast storm surge which hit the coast overnight on 31st January. At Jaywick, near Clacton, the sea rose a metre in 15 minutes and 35 people drowned. In the photo are the submerged remains of Triumph Avenue, Crossley Avenue, Singer Avenue, Rover Avenue, Standard Avenue and Daimler Avenue. A hexagonal pillbox which is still at the end of Rover Avenue (at OS NGR TM140130) can be made out on the left hand side of the image. The road in the distance is Meadow Way.

EDITORS COMMENTS

In this evocative aerial photograph taken on February 2nd, 1953, the devastating impact of the Great East Coast storm surge is captured as never before. The scene is Jaywick Sands, Essex, a tranquil coastal community that was mercilessly hit by the relentless sea overnight on January 31st. The once familiar landscape of Triumph Avenue, Crossley Avenue, Singer Avenue, Rover Avenue, and Standard Avenue are now submerged under the churning waters of the North Sea. The photograph reveals a haunting tableau of desolation. Houses, their roofs torn off, lie abandoned and forlorn, their foundations swallowed by the encroaching tide. Thirty-five innocent lives were lost in this catastrophic event, with the sea rising a metre in a mere fifteen minutes. On the left-hand side of the image, a hexagonal pillbox, a relic of a bygone era, can be discerned at the end of Rover Avenue (OS NGR TM140130). This fortification, a testament to the past, stands defiant against the onslaught of the sea, a poignant reminder of a time when the threat of invasion was a very real concern. In the distance, Meadow Way, the road leading to the heart of the community, is barely visible, its continuity broken by the relentless power of the sea. This photograph, a poignant snapshot of history, serves as a stark reminder of the destructive forces of nature and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. This photograph is part of the extensive Aerofilms Collection, held by Historic England, and provides a unique perspective on the past. It is a testament to the power of aerial photography to capture the essence of history and preserve it for future generations.
