"Wellington Road" and St Helen's Green, Harwich, Essex by Bell's (1907)
This is a very early "Bells" postcard of Harwich, with the view being virtually unchanged in the past 110 years. In the background the spire of St Nicholas Church can be seen and to the left in the foreground we have St Helen's Green. This area today marks the area used by the Wellington Road sea-front car park.
A later card below shows a similar view taken around 1968, but for a modern day street view of the postcard (postcode C012 3DL) Click Here.

Kings Quay St, Harwich - Cafe, Shops & Renovation (1968).
This commercial area of Harwich now long gone was captured in this 1960's photograph illustrating well the variety of shops that once occupied Harwich. "Don's Cafe" selling sandwiches, snacks, grills, coffee alongside packets of woodbine, would have been a popular haunt. Adjacent is "J&D Neal" Fruiterers and Greengrocer's looking a little worse for wear, possibly with stiff competition, from the adjacent greengrocers. The whole area was renovated all the way up the Pier Hotel, including the Hair Shac, with attached scaffolding in place.
