There where some ponds on these marshes that were good for catching eels

A snowy scene on the marshes ,showing the old ferry toll house and the Army surplus stores ,this photo could have been taken in the late 1940-'s does any old Wivenhovian remember this scene ??
please leave a comment as i not sure of the date.

Sorry about the quality.

A Rather battered photo of the bridge over the river Colne between Rowhedge and Wivenhoe.
It was situated in front of the Albion pub, down river from the ferry hard. It was used by troops at Cherry tree camp Blackheath on the Mersea Road, for quick access to the railway at Wivenhoe. Built for the first world war. The centre section worked on a cantilever system to allow barge traffic through to the Hythe.

I think the Lady being rescued from the Toll House is Mrs Woods, it was a scene from the 1953 floods at Wivenhoe. The man with the peak cap is Mr. Len Barton, who had the Green grocer's in the High Street, you can see the marshes flooded in the background.
