'Dovercourt' is a small seaside
town located in
Essex,
England.
Dovercourt is somewhat older than its smaller but better-known neighbour, the port of
Harwich, and appears in the
Domesday Book of 1087. Today the two towns are contiguous.
Dovercourt is rich with
civil war history and as a seaside resort offers a wide range of shops and cafes for the enjoyment of holiday makers, casual visitors and residents.
The main shopping area of Dovercourt is High Street, a shopping street with a variety of different shops, from independents to the larger national chains.
The popular 1980s
BBC sitcom ''
Hi-de-Hi!'' was filmed in Dovercourt, at ''Warner’s Holiday Camp'', which transformed into the famous ''Maplin’s''. The camp was later re-developed as a housing estate.
