The old oyster sheds on the Quay.

This old photo is showing the Wivenhoe Shipyard in the background,probably Forrestt's yard,
This was taken just on the turn of the 1900's. You can just make out the double decked steam ship along side the shipyard quay .

Wivenhoe Memories collection.

 Is that not the British legion to the right of the picture.

When this photo was taken the now British Legion was William Madders sail making business

When I was a child I used to walk up and down the river bank at low tide and always wondered why there were so many Oyster shells there! Simon Bowes.
