You will not see this sight again

A nice picture of one of the Coaster traffic making it's way up to the Hythe, Port of Colchester, in 1985.  We now have no shipping on the River Colne which is a great shame, and the Port of Colchester no longer exists, the Harbour Board is no longer in use.


 I spent a great deal of my childhood messing about down by or on the river and it's a sight we rather took for granted. A great shame indeed.  Philip Braithwaite. Ostend ,Belgium
