The Salvation Army, Naval & Military Home
27 Church Street, Harwich between Currents Lane and the Quayside.
Built before 1917, possibly opened for business on Friday May 15th 1914
It was closed in the late 1950's and later demolished and replaced by Mayflower House.
Its purpose was to serve the many soldiers and sailors who passed through Harwich via the Transit Camp in Dovercourt. When the transit camp closed, it was converted into flats.
Special thanks to Keith Rowland and family for additional information.
