What election day looked like in south Essex in decades gone by | Clacton and Frinton Gazette

Warm reception - crowds surround Winston Churchill during the 1945 election campaign The big day for councillors looking to retain their power and opponents seeking a way into the limelight arrived earlier this week. Many of us rushed to the polling stations on Thursday to back those we feel are best placed to tackle the big issues in our community. As a result, we have dipped into our photo archives to rediscover some eye-catching shots of local and parliamentary elections from years gone by. Among them are snaps of former Prime Minister Winston Churchill taking to the streets of Essex and receiving a warm reception, while Eddie Izzard backed South Basildon & East Thurrock’s Labour candidate Mike Le Surf six years ago.

Heybridge: Rescue mission continues for missing boat | Harwich and Manningtree Standard

A HUGE rescue effort has been under way after a boat “completely disappeared” more than five days ago. The red and white nine-meter Sunseeker sports boat, named Rapido, departed from Grays on April 24 on a planned voyage to Maldon in mid-Essex.
