Full Description
Contemporary records state, Concrete block. Wakes Colne, 3 Viaduct Cottages. Front garden. Viaduct Cottages stood on the piece of ground E of the viaduct and N of Colchester Road. They were in a block of six, lying back from the road, three facing S and three (back to back) facing N. They numbered 1, 2 and 3 W to E facing the road and 4, 5 and 6 E to W facing away. Thus No. 3 was on the SE corner and the concrete block stood at the N end of the garden close to the front of the house, by the corner. An aerial photograph taken in 1949 shows the clear shape of this block.<1><2><3>
