It seems to have a bad case of subsidence at the moment.

James Husk the local boat builder had this house built in Anglesea Road next to the bridge on the Elmstead side of the road he lived here in 1922.

This has to be my favourite photo.on this site

A great view of Husk's Yard with Anglesea road in the background. If you left click on this picture for a supersize image you can just make out the brick wall running down the middle of the road. it was said to be the boundry wall between Wivenhoe and Elmstead parishes, but i suspect it was to keep people away from the railway lines which were used by the ballast trucks that came down to the ballast quay at Cook's yard. The old ballast pits were on what is now Dene Park estate.You can see the wall because it obscures the bottom of the doorways in Captains row.Note on the right of Anglesea Road there are no houses built it's still all fields.

We are all waiting for the sprat boats to come in

Captains Row. These cottages are on the left side of Anglesea Road, so called because most of the occupants were connected with fishing or sailing, and they had a very good view of the river colne
