  Lord Hill, as General Secretary of the Boiler Makers Union, wanted to live near the boilers makers. He knew Jim Gould, and his older brother Arthur who were both boiler makers/platers, and Jim persuaded him to move to Wivenhoe. “Ted Hill purchased a cottage near to Jim’s so he could live in Wivenhoe with the boilermakers.” Jim lived at Cornwall Villas, Clifton Terrace. In a slight twist of fate both Jim and Lord Hill died  in the 3rd quarter of 1967. I believe Arthur and Jim worked at Davy Paxman in Colchester.
