Is this building still there? Sally Mc Andrew.
No sorry all those lovely old buildings on the left hand side of East Street were pulled down in 1930, i think they were of the 18th century but there is a fish shop there now of the 19th century but it has closed .
Is that Edwin as in Edwin Joseph Green? (1894-1965). He married my grandma's aunt - Elsie Jane Kemble (1895-1928). They had three children, and their only son, Jack E Green (I don't know his middle name but presumably it's Edwin), was born in 1921 and was killed during WW2. He's one of the few names on the WW2 side of the Wivenhoe war memorial and he's buried in the New Cemetery with an RAF stone. If that is Edwin, it's great to see a photo of him! (If you like, I can send you the photo of Elsie on the beach with her three children, with my grandma and her brothers, some time in the mid-late 1920s) Helen Barrell.
Yes that is Edwin Joseph Green, i think he re married Lilly Payne, one of his Son's is Barry Green who is still alive and well.

I remember my uncle Barry Green (Braintree side of the family) in the early 70s running the Chippy, my family lived next door at Eastcote: Nan Payne, Grandad Payne, uncle Derek Green (passed after a brain haemorrhage operation in the late 60s or early 70s), my dad (Leslie James Green, passed now). I have two sisters, Wendy and Jane.
My grandchildren visited him in Brightlingsea 10 years ago, with my son and his wife.
Nan Payne moved to 5 Vanessa Drive in the late 60s or early 70s, Eastcote was too big for her or the family sold it.
Then in the mid 90s my mum Pamala Anne Green (nee Earnshaw) moved into the same address for the latter part of her life, I fitted a new bathroom and kitchen for her in there in the late 90s.
I’ve not been back to Wivenhoe is the early 2000s but I have fond memories of growing up there, then leaving the area to join the Royal Navy in 1974. I didn’t fancy working on Cooke’s Shipyard for a bootle of ale after a barge launch. I retired from the RN in 1998 and continue to thrive in South Cumbria.
