Is this Westcliff-on-Sea ?
« on: Wednesday 09 October 19 00:05 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Can anybody identify the location of this photo ? The two main clues are the 'W.U.D.C.' on the deckchair and the building in the background. A relative has suggested it might be Westcliff-on-Sea but also possibly Southend-on-Sea, Cliftonville or Margate.
Thank you in advance for any help.

I don't think that it is either Westcliff-on-Sea or Southend-On-Sea. I don't remember the shorefront being like that.
The W U D C is a bit of a clue as U D C could mean urban district council.

There's a longer list of Urban Districts at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_urban_districts_formed_in_England_and_Wales_1894%E2%80%9395

(These appear to the the ones that were formed initially - the other link is to ones that were formed later.)
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

Did you mean Withernsea as that is on the East Yorkshire Coast not far from me, but I don't recognise it.

Sorry! Typo :-[

I was looking at Urban Districts beginning with "W" , just one word, and located in a coastal area.
