Thanks to Billy for providing this update for us.

Just thought you might like an update in relation to the most recent phase of works being carried out at Clacton Pier. It has now been 21 months since the Clacton pier company bought Clacton pier from the previous owners the Harrison family.

In that time many changes and improvements have been made, we have seen the former cokney pride pub completely overhauled and redeveloped as the Boardwalk Bar, the addition of the ocean diner restaurant and burger express take away. There has been the introduction of various guest rides over the last two seasons and of course the addition of that famous landmark helter skelter, the feasibility of adding a major new ride attraction is being explored in time for this season, The amusement arcade has seen some massive investment and is now arguably the best amusement arcade offering in the town.

Probably the most exciting development taking place in time for the 2011 season is the new 10 pin bowling development which is at the time of writing in the process of being built. “The Lanes” is due to open in time for Easter 2011 and will be directly linked to all of the pier attractions especially the bar and amusement arcade. The owners are committed to making the pier a year round attraction and with the addition of this new facility hope to provide both the local community and tourists a fantastic new and much needed all weather entertainment alternative.
