Frinton On Sea

Frinton on Sea is the old home of Spec-tacular who used to work in the Spec Savers there. It was the site of the first experimental Bloom that The Watchers of Gentle Change managed to interefere with to ensure communication with the Positive Ascended there.

The Lighthouse
Frinton on Sea is the home of a lighthouse which featured in Spec-tacular's first vision; it was projecting out a beam of energy that was tracking across things it passed over.

Gunfleet Lighthouse is a screw-pile lighthouse lying in the North Sea, six miles off the coast at Frinton-on-Sea in Essex constructed in 1850 by James Walker of Trinity House. It is 74 feet (23 m) in height and hexagonal in plan; mounted on seven piles forming a steel lattice and originally painted red. The living accommodation comprises a living room, bedroom, kitchen/washroom and storeroom.

It was abandoned in 1921 though still in use as an automated weather station by the Port of London Authority, and marks the northern limit of their jurisdiction.

In 1974 an attempt was made to use the lighthouse as a base for a pirate radio station Radio Atlantis but this was thwarted by the authorities.
