Parkeston Road, Parkeston, Essex (1920) by Frank Wallis CO12 4PD
Local photographer Frank Wallis, captured some amazing scenes in the early part of the 20th Century and these three examples cover some of the residential areas in Parkeston Village, Essex.
The development of Parkeston was aided by Edgar Walter Garland, who was both Squire and Landowner, Edgar lived at Michaelstowe Hall and sold the land to the Great Eastern Railway in order to build the Quay and village.
This postcard of Parkeston Road, is within the village (located at the end of Garland Road, as opposed to the other Parkeston Road, running off Main Road, Dovercourt) The busy scene is depicted by multiple milk carts, residents and children posing for the photographer, against a backdrop of Parkeston Quay and the Station, sadly this view is presently obscured from the road.
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.
