Upper Church Street.
The building on the right was the residence of George Beaumont the Coggeshall Historian, then called 'The Lawn'. Dating from the 16th century, its appearance dates from 1898, before that it was much like most other Coggeshall buildings - lath and plastered.
The white cover on the telegaph pole was to aid their visibility in the blackout of the First World War. The parish council also asked the gas company to whiten their lamposts but their contract for Coggeshall's gas lighting had just been cancelled by the council because of the blackout so they refused. You can see a black gas-lamp in the distance - near where Nunn's Close is now
Date; c1915
Ref;102/13
