Harwich
Harwich is a town in the English county of Essex. Located on the coast in the Tendring district, it is near Felixstowe, Ipswich, Colchester and Clacton on Sea, and it is the most northern seaside town within Essex. Due to its position on the estuaries of the River Stour and River Orwell, alongside its benefit to sailors as being the only safe anchorage in between the Thames and the Humber, the town had significant civil and military maritime importance for a long period of time. In 1657, the town became a marine base and was greatly fortified with the building and construction of the Harwich Redoubt, Beacon Hill Battery, and Bath Side Battery. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a population of around 17684. Despite the fact that it is a town of a relatively modest size, Harwich has a high standing for its architectural heritage. The town continues to be structured using the basic street plan including principal thoroughfares linked by a number of small alleys, which signifies the town's medieval origins. Many of the existing medieval structures are private homes, although there is a range of public buildings of a historical nature. This features the parish church of St. Nicholas, built in 1821 in a Gothic style, which consists of a lot of the original home furnishings and an organ. Just one building is Grade I listed, which is the Guildhall of 1769. A striking building is the Pier Hotel of 1860, renamed the Great Eastern Hotel of 1864, which is a vivid demonstration of the town's changing role after the arrival of the railway line in Colchester, drawing in increasing numbers of visitors.
