This Pub is Permanently Closed

The Marine Hotel on the seafront was one of the earliest buildings in modern Walton-on-the-Naze opening in the 1820s. The hotel itself has since been demolished and replaced by flats, but the Royal Marine which was once part of the hotels "vaults" remains and is included on the CAMRA regionally important historic interiors list. The pub has a 'snug' area in front of the bar and a larger area on the other three sides of the bar. The beer cellar is upstairs. Old photos of the building are on display; the current pub main entrance looks to have been a coach access to a yard behind the hotel.

Built c.1828 as the Marine Hotel and occupying the whole block, it later became Wine & Spirits merchants. A photograph on the wall of the bar shows that the former shop premises are now the lounge bar and the public bar on the right has been created within the old coaching arch. The changes were carried out just before WWII with the lounge bar still retaining the curved shop front windows.

The front door to this traditional drinkers pub leads to the long public bar and its curved front window came from a shop in Frinton. A part glazed partition with 'Lounge Bar' in coloured glass separates the two rooms. The high-ceilinged, part-panelled lounge bar is very much the star here with most of its late 1930 fittings intact; the bar counter looks like a replacement, possibly in the 1960s?. Note the small hatch in the left side partition wall.

At the rear is a small room with a hatch/door to the servery. It is opened-up from the long bar and was extended back in the 1980s. On the left is another bar with painted 1930s panelling but the carved counter is more recent. Upstairs is a high ceilinged dance hall which was used until the 1960s by the Sea Scouts - note the scouting items painted on the walls. The pub has a first floor cellar and casks travel to it via a 1928 goods lift.
