Lower Grange Hill and the Bridge.
The old bridge was very narrow and became something of an issue in the town. As a result in March 1912 a petition was sent to the Essex County Council asking for a new bridge. Thankfully this wasn't done, instead the bridge was widened and the old railings replaced with brick parapets. By the end of the year it was finished - the system was rather more simple then! Although much of the original structure remains the older bridge was definitely more picturesque.
