Garland Road, Parkeston, Essex, in 1923
The original road was named after Edgar Walter Garland, who was both Squire and Landowner, Edgar lived at Michaelstowe Hall and sold the land to the G.E.R. to build the Quay and village.
This postcard depicts a busy scene with sailors and children posing for the photographer outside "The Garland Hotel" at number 65, now re-named "The Captain Fryatt". In 1907 the assembly room and offices were added to the Garland Hotel. The Garland's link with Michaelstowe Hall ended in 1920, when the 2,250 acres of the Michaelstowe estate were put up for sale by auction by Hampton and Sons at the Corn Exchange in Colchester. The estate at that time owned land and farms across Bradfield, Wrabness and Ramsey as well as the Dovercourt Golf Course and obviously the Garland Hotel in Parkeston.
Although the road was one of the first in the village to be developed, development was originally confined to the northern side only. No buildings existed on the southern side until 1897 and several of the existing properties on this side of the road date back to 1897 and 1898.
The publisher of the postcard was "Wallis of Oakley",who was one of the best social history photographers in the area.
