Harwich
Harwich is a town in the English county of Essex. Found on the coast in the Tendring district, it is near Felixstowe, Ipswich, Colchester and Clacton on Sea, and it is the most northern coastal town within Essex. As a result of its position on the estuaries of the River Stour and River Orwell, as well as its importance to sailors as being the only safe anchorage between the Thames and the Humber, the town had significant civil and military maritime importance for a long time. In 1657, the town came to be a marine base and was heavily fortified with the construction of the Harwich Redoubt, Beacon Hill Battery, and Bath Side Battery. In accordance with the 2011 Census, the town has a population of around 17684. Despite the fact that it is a town of a fairly small size, Harwich has a high track record for its architectural heritage. The town continues to be structured using the basic street plan incorporating principal thoroughfares joined by a number of small alleys, which shows the town's medieval origins. The majority of the existing medieval structures are private homes, although there is a range of public buildings of a historic nature. This includes the parish church of St. Nicholas, developed in 1821 in a Gothic style, which contains numerous of the authentic 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, attracting increasing numbers of visitors.
