Great Wakering, Essex Weather
About Great Wakering, Essex
Great Wakering maintains a sturdy presence upon the flat, reclaimed earth of the Essex coastline, where the sky claims more territory than the land itself. It lies 4.1 miles east-north-east of Southend-on-Sea (from Southend-on-Sea: bearing 78°T, OS grid TQ 944 874), and is situated south-east of Little Wakering village. Bricks and mortar here carry the memory of the local kilns, which once turned the heavy clay of the Thames Estuary into the foundations of London. To the north, the winding channels of Little Wakering Creek pull at the marshland, their silt-laden waters reflecting the pale, thin light of the North Sea. The horizon is rarely static, often blurred by the low-hanging salt mists that roll in from the Brimstone Saltings to dampen the winter hedgerows. Great Wakering keeps a watch over these tidal shifts, its quiet streets leading towards the vast, open expanse of East Beach where the tide retreats to reveal miles of rippled sand. This is a landscape of hard work and horizontal lines, where the salt air eventually finds its way into every brickwork crevice and garden gate. Through the seasonal transitions, the rhythm of the place remains tethered to the ebb and flow of the surrounding coastal geography.
