My guess is that this might be cycling related; that an area where there's likely to be public-spirited cyclists with GPS devices is well placed to get good OSM coverage.
In support of my theory, I point to Cambridge being a little bit of a hotspot in the southeast of England. (Not so much as Clacton though ... hmmm ... maybe the theory needs some work.)

- SteveCoast 12y agoWell, kinda. A lot of the coding and early work was done in Cambridge but the first node I think was in Regents Park.
