Navteq doesn't acknowledge the pier at Clacton, nor does TeleAtlas (from Bing); the OS county boundary from Meridian also ignores the pier. OSM shows the pier as 'man_made=pier' going out from the shore and Mapink renders it like land. I would suggest that it correct. As for whether it is 'in Essex' or not I suggest that a judge would say it was even though the OS say it is not! > > If Essex is worried about invasion from Sussex, We'll send a force in > from Kent. > Or from Suffolk!
