Response by email 060707

Thank you for the latest Colchester Postcard series, it is so good to see the town again as it was when I was a boy. On page 2 ref. 4-260 on the right hand side looking up Balkerne Hill is a white looking house with a window which looks north down the hill. This house was no. 38 Balkerne Lane, where I lived from 1941 - 1948. I was 8 when we, the Everitts, left.

This is the only picture I have ever seen of the house where my wartime experiences and family dramas were experienced. Any chance of a copy please? I'd like my sons to see where they came from with its outside lavatory, the copper next to it where a fire was lit to heat water for the weeky wash, and fill the tin bath which was placed in front of the fire range for weekly baths. Paul Everitt.

My grandfather was working at this mill in 1929.

I used to live on the Harwich Road, very close to the East Gates railway crossing. I used to walk past this mill everyday on my way to school, St. James Primary; not the new one. The old one used to stand on the opposite side of the road to the present school. It was a old Victorian, three classroom building, long demolished.

I can still remember the old barges tied up to the wharf unloading the grain.

Post card No. Five, East Street. You ask the question, does anybody remember the petrol station? It was called Days Garage, and was situated on the corner of East Street and Brook Street. This area was known as East Bay. I had a school friend who lived a couple of doors up from the garage.

Postally unused (although we have seen another version of this card which was used in 1913). The Thames barge shown in the picture has Colchester on the stern and probably named "Maid o'the Mill". Details and comments are:

Built 1888 at Rochester, Kent by George W. Gill. 45 registered tons, spritsail rigged, fitted with Taylor and Neates patented screw steering gear. Owners included W. Marriage of Colchester, E. Marriage of Colchester and H. Cunis of London. Broken up in 1930 at Nortons Yard, Charlton, on the R. Thames. Marriage was the company that owned East Mill, Colchester.

The pictures must therefore have been taken no earlier than 1888 as Marriages were the 1st. owners and used her from new.

Up until 1874 such barges were built with massive wooden tillers to steer them. After that date screw gearing systems were progressively introduced. In the early years they were a novelty - a hi-tech approach of their day! They were less tiring to operate and allowed longer barges to be built whilst still being controllable.

We must thank Mr Mike Wignall for this information.

The same card but in black and white. M and L National Series No. 5. Can anybody remember the petrol station on the left? This card is unused.

The petrol station was ‘Days Garage’ owned by a Mr Watson and his wife. He also operated Watsons Taxis.

Originally the petrol pumps were on the pavement on the corner of Brook Street. Sometime in 48 or 49 the pumps were moved to the position shown in the photograph. In those days your tank was filled for you and usually ‘Tommy’ was the one who operated the pump, 10 gallons (42 litres) for £1.00.

We lived in Greenstead Road from January 1947 until March of 1955, I was 22 when we left. My Dad owned an ice cream business, Orchard Creameries, as well as the snack bar on Scheregate Steps and the East Bay Hotel which was diagonally opposite Days Garage.

I went to school at CRGS and there met Geoff Wade who remained my best friend for 55 years, until he passed away in 2002.

Where now are the friends of one's youth who, in our minds, never grow any older?

GREYFRIARS

Our postcards start from a period when this building was a Catholic convent. In France in 1903, laws were enacted that which removed various religious congregations from the country. This led to the Dames of Nazareth, founded in Normandy in 1922, to take up residence at Greyfriars. By 1904, through the help of Father Bloomfield at nearby St James the Less in Priory Street, Greyfriars was extended which enables the nuns to open it up as a day and boarding school for girls. After the First World War hostilities had ceased and with a relaxation of the anti-Catholic laws in France in September 1919, the twenty three Dames of Nazareth returned to France and their school was closed in 1922. It later became the High School for Girls. All these changes are reflected in our postcards, the early ones with messages in French and addressed to locations in France and Belgium.

Postmarked Sep 1946, to Miss Catherine Gladwell, Surrey .

In February 2008 we received the following feedback:

The sailing barge on the right of the picture is the 55 ton "Paglesham" built in 1877 at Paglesham by Kemp for A.J.Meeson of Battlesbridge as a wedding present for his wife.

Meeson owned several barges and the flour mills at Battlesbridge.

For many years "Paglesham" was skippered by Bob Eves of Wivenhoe, and later, Dick Daniels.

"Paglesham" was sold to W.H. Theobald of Leigh on sea (trading as Leigh Building Supplies) and was generally employed carrying softwood from the Surrey docks.

The postcard shows her having just discharged a timber cargo at Groom Daniels wharf.

In April 1944 "Paglesham" loaded Kentish wheat in Whitstable harbour for London. She survived the war and was in the Surrey docks in 1947 loading timber when she was sunk by a steamer, she was "raised but condemned" and was acquired by the Sea Scouts as a guardship and was broken up around 1953.

"Imperial" was requisitioned, during the war for the storage and delivery of ammunition to ships coming in to the Chatham dockyard and afterwards rebuilt and converted into a motor barge for London and Rochester Trading Co. (1949 on) she was laid up around 1958 and became a houseboat at Temple Marsh, Strood, Kent and derelict by 1961.

~~~~~~~~

On the left of picture is the 100 ton Gem, originally a coal fired sailing steamer built of iron in South Shields in 1881 and registered in Colchester that year, 80ft x 16ft with a 20hp steam engine. Gem was the last of the Colchester "passage boats" from 1902-1914, skippered by David Francis and trading occasionally to Holland, and sometimes to Poole, Dorset, but mainly from Colchester and Mistley to London.

Thanks to Colin Swindale for this additional information - March 2008

The barge on the left is Gem of Colchester. The vessel on right is Dina Joanna. The rowing boat far left has markings but illegible. The middle vessel equally so.

An unused picture of Hythe Quay showning the Spirality of London, M and L National Series, No. 57.

We are indebted to Mr Mike Wignall of

www.thamesmatch.co.uk

Which provides the future programme, results and history of the Thames Sailing Barge Match itself, which was founded in 1863 and is still running.

Mike very kindly identified one of the barges shown on the Hythe section. Here follows his comments:

Postcard 3-616 shows "Imperial". She was a Thames sailing barge which had a very characteristic main/top mast and sail arrangement with a massive spar at 30-45 degrees, the base pivoting almost at deck level i.e. spritsail rigged. This rig is quite unmistakeable once you know what you're looking for and it is easy to pick out a Thames sailing barge amongst a forest of masts of various vessels in photos - based on their spritsail rig.

In the card she is shown as belonging to "LRTC" [cut in/painted above her name] which was the 19-20th. century London & Rochester Trading Co., based at Frindsbury, near Strood, in Kent on the R. Medway. She's shown as being registered in London and she was built in the East Greenwich bargeyard of Shrubsall, in 1902 and was owned by one Valentine Colchester of Ipswich. She was of 53 registered tons, length 84.6 ft., beam 19.2 ft and draught 5.9 ft.

She was sold on in 1925 to another company "Rands", who sold her on again to the LRTC in 1934. This company was keen on racing their working barges in the annual Thames Match and annual Medway Match where they competed against their arch-rivals in the sailing barge transport industry - F. T. Everard & Sons. "Imperial" came 1st. in 1902, and 3rd. in both the 1928 and 1933 Thames Matches. She came 1st. in 1902, 3rd. in 1929 and 2nd. in 1930 in the Medway Match. LRTC converted her from a sailing barge to a motor barge in 1949. She finally ended her days as a hulk in the vicinity of the Temple Marsh & Strood Yacht Club.

The photo the postcard was made from must therefore have been taken sometime from 1934 onwards.
