Abstract: |
The building has medium heritage significance as belonging to the late Victorian development of Clacton as a seaside resort. It was adapted and extended as a meeting house after 1947. Evidential value: The meeting house was built in 1969 as an extension to a building of about 1900. It is of low evidential value. Historical value: Being of relatively recent date, the meeting house has low historical value. The former house has medium historical value as part of the late nineteenth and early twentieth-century development of Clacton-on-Sea as a seaside resort. Aesthetic value: The meeting house is a functional modern design, set well back from the street; it has low aesthetic value, although the individual lettering on the front wall is attractive. The former house has medium aesthetic value for its contribution to the townscape, slightly diminished by the replacement windows and rendered flank elevation. Communal value: Until recently (2015), the meeting house was also a widely-used community resource but since it ceased to be used for hirings it must now be regarded as of low communal value. |
