In 1865, railway engineer and land developer Peter Bruff, steamboat owner William Jackson, and a group of businessmen bought an area of undeveloped farmland near Great Clacton village to establish a new resort. The first facilities they built for the new resort were the pier, which opened in 1871, allowing visitors to travel by ship. The town of Clacton-on-Sea was laid out rather haphazardly over the next few years, with plots and streets sold off piecemeal to developers and speculators. In 1882, the Great Eastern Railway opened a branch line to Clacton-on-Sea railway station from a junction on the existing railway at Thorpe-le-Soken. In the twentieth century, Clacton grew into the largest seaside resort between Southend-on-Sea and Great Yarmouth, with around 10,000 residents by 1914 and approximately 20,000 by 1939. Due to its accessibility from the East End of London and the Essex suburbs, Clacton, like Southend, remained preferentially geared to catering to working-class and lower-middle-class holidaymakers. For well over a century, Clacton Pier has been an RNLI lifeboat station. Before World War II, four notable incidents occurred in Clacton-on-Sea: a German airman bailed out over the town early in the war, a Luftwaffe Heinkel 111 bomber crashed into the town on 30 April 1940, demolishing several houses in the Vista Road area, a Wagstaff Corner area was bombed in May 1941, and a V2 rocket hit in front of the Tower Hotel, injuring dozens of troops inside but without bringing down the structure. The Kingsman family played a big role in the town during the pre- and post-war period, buying and developing the pier and running a pleasure-steamer service from London. A summer sea excursion to Calais also ran until the early 1960s, and Butlin's reopened the holiday camp after the war. This, along with the expansion of the nearby chalet town of Jaywick, and increasingly capacious caravan sites, all swelled by the movement of retired Londoners into the area, altered the character of the town. In 1964, the town was in the national news when rival gangs of Mods and Rockers fought on the sea front, leading to several arrests. Throughout the 1960s, Clacton beach remained a popular summer excursion for residents of Essex and east London, and the pirate radio ship MV Galaxy was anchored offshore from 1964 until its forced closure in 1967. With the advent of cheap flights to Mediterranean resorts in the 1970s, the holiday industry began to decline, and hotels and guest-houses' spare capacity became used as temporary accommodation by the local authority to house those on welfare, refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers. Pier Ward, in the centre of the town, is one of the poorest in the UK, and several well-known local buildings have been demolished since around 1970. The town expanded substantially in the 1980s, 1990s, and first decade of the 21st century, with new housing estates on the rural margins of town and brownfield developments. Many residents commute to work in Colchester, Witham, Chelmsford, or London.
