The Naze Tower opened for the first time in 280 years on Saturday, May 31, 2004. |
The restoration work included rebuilding the castellated top, and filling the gaps in the brickwork with steel safety rails. |
The interior of the tower has seen the central circular stairway refurbished, and, I think, in places, replaced. On several floors are art galleries from a variety of local artists. |

The view from the top is, of course, what its all about. The cafe and cliff top, looking to the south-east.
|
The car par, groynes and the Naze caravan, open every summer weekend with a small museum inside, as well as information on the Naze and its fossils, geology and wildlife. |
The next to go? The concrete slabs lined up for demolition along the cliff top, with the landmark information display on the right.
