More about this scene
Walton on the Naze was developed as a seaside resort from the early 19th century. After 1855, the town was developed mainly by Peter Bruff, who built Marine Terrace, the central row of houses in this picture. Here families stroll along the parade on the top of the cliffs, which was soon to be developed as Marine Gardens.
