A pair of decorative lancet windows have been chalked on the paving in front of the town hall. This is part of Urban Canvas' contribution to "Christmas by the Sea", a month-long art project, and is inspired by the carol "I saw three ships".

An old building. The end gable with the ceremonial entrance is of dressed stone, the side is of red brick. The building stands next to a modern road, in an otherwise rural scene

A road bridge across a small river, that cannot be seen. The centre of the road is marked with chevrons to prevent overtaking. The scene is surrounded with hills and bare winter trees, and everything is tinted white with hoar frost.

Frinton-on-Sea has always been a bit snooty. No pubs were allowed, and instead of "keep off the grass" signs they had ones that read "no picnicking upon the greensward". An old railway advert, seeking to attract ferry passengers said "Harwich for the Continent". It was invariably defaced with "and Frinton for the incontinent"

A coastal town. A mown greensward on the left gives way to a tumble of green wildflowers on the cliff edge. In the distance are smart, white, art deco buildings

The home page says "Since 2005, 13,980 contributors have submitted 7,964,955 images covering 282,951 grid squares, or 85.2% of the total squares"

The reason for the numeric discrepancy is that not all submissions pass moderation

View of a cliff face. The centre is paler than the rest, because of a rockfall. In a matching colour the pile of fallen rocks is on the beach
