Burnham-on-Crouch

Burnham-on-Crouch is the bit of Essex that owns a blazer and wears it to the shops. It has more sailing clubs than a town this size can reasonably justify, a modernist yacht club that looks like it took a wrong turn out of Miami, and a railway line that only escaped the Beeching cuts because the nuclear power station up the road needed its deliveries. The train still runs. Most people here would rather you assumed they came by boat.
