Jaywick itself comprises of four main areas,
Grasslands, Brooklands, the Village and the Tudor Estate. Brooklands and
Grasslands have perhaps been the most deprived and forgotten areas, having the
barest of amenities and some of the poorest housing in Europe, despite this the
vast majority of the people who live there love it. The village has slightly
more amenities in the way of shops and Post Office and again most of the people
that live there, would not wish to live anywhere else. Finally we come to the
Tudor Estate, or West Clacton as the Estate Agents prefer to call it, to avoid
the stigma that they always attached to the name
Jaywick.
