The Beach at Dovercourt in 1914, with the loss of the "Bathing Machines"
The transition from "Bathing Machines" over to "Bathing Huts", can be seen here, with both being present.
Most of the "Bathing machines" had disappeared in England by 1914, with Dovercourt being one of the last places continuing to use them (they were owned by the nearby Phoenix Hotel).
This postcard was part of the Bells's Photography series , who produced cards for 45 years from 1905 - 1950.

No 33, Dovercourt, Essex looking East towards Harwich, by F.Wallis (Posted 1922)
A busy beach scene with large family groups off the main beach (probably due to the high tide) with heavy clothing and bonnets, suggesting it could be late spring or even early Autumn.
In the background is the "Inner Lighthouse" next to the "Tea Rooms", which were close to the old Phoenix Hotel on the Retreat.
These photographs were taken just prior to the development of the new promenade and road building that started the following year.
