Lock, Shotley Marina The gates have reminders that the speed limit on the Stour and Harwich Harbour is 8 knots, and on the Orwell 6 knots. There is also a warning about cross tides. Although the marina is called Shotley Marina, the lifebelt on the right has 'Shotley Point Marina' on it - an earlier name?

Harwich Town railway station, Essex Opened in 1866 by the Great Eastern Railway as the terminus of its line from Manningtree, it replaced an earlier 1854 station which was demolished. 
View north towards the buffers. There had once been a 2nd island platform to the left. The waiting shelter was constructed in 2018 and replaced a short remaining section of station canopy which was removed at the same time.
