Everything about Jaywick totally explained
Jaywick is a small seaside village near
Clacton-on-Sea, in
Essex on the
North Sea coast of
England. It was originally intended as a
holiday resort for Londoners. Many of the houses were poorly constructed and were only intended for short-term holiday use. As time has passed, more and more people moved into the area and stayed.

The population includes large numbers of retired and working professionals. A 2007 report by property website Mouseprice

Eastern England's ten cheapest streets in which to buy property are in Jaywick. The cheapest street in the region is Austin Avenue, Jaywick, with an average house price of £51,588.
Parts of the Brooklands area faces demolition, with new modern housing planned. Local residents fear that the character and community of Jaywick may be lost forever.
