| Mr. John Harvey 1830-1901 |
Mr. Thomas Harvey shown left 1803-1885 was a Wivenhoe ship builder of some fame, when he retired from shipbuilding he went into land speculation. he purchased the Wivenhoe House estate after the death of William Brumell and sold off the land as building plots. Thus we have park road, queens road,rebow road and some plots in the High Street.
His son, seen right who was John Harvey 1830-1901. took over the wivenhoe yard and also opened a yard at Ipswich.
