Dist:0.1km<br/>Located in Blackheath Colchester, 80 & 82 Blackheath, the middle two houses were the original Rose Cottage built in 1882 as farm labourers cottages. All mod cons included a brick built outside bake/wash house and earth closet. There was a slate roofed wooden stable block at the rear of the property. Not much more than 100 years later the outbuildings were demolished and the semi-detached house was turned into a terrace with flying freehold’s to allow access to a car park at the rear.

Dist:0.9km<br/>An imaginative way to disguise the brutal concrete of a type 24 pillbox. Created by the children of Monkwick and Lisa Temple http://www.lisatemple-cox.co.uk/index.html It is heartening to note that even though the painting was finished a couple of years ago no artist/vandal has deemed it necessary to add their tag to it.

Dist:1.2km east<br/>Weir Lane runs from the B1025 Near Blackheath Colchester to Donnyland Heath near Rowhedge. The lane passes through the danger area of the Middlewick Rifle Range [[TM0022]]. When the range is in use the road is closed with gates at each end. The yellow signs beside the footpath fingerposts warn of the fatal consequences of interfering with any military debris you may find on the army’s grounds. The picture was taken looking towards Rowhedge.

Dist:1.3km west<br/>This is the gate to the Military Corrective Training Centre at Berechurch Camp Colchester. This where all the Larcenous Lance Corporals and Recidivist Ratings get sent to serve their custodial sentences if found guilty at a Court Martial. The inmates are referred to as Servicemen Under Sentence, not prisoners. The MOD maintains this is not actually a prison as in civilian life many of the misdemeanours that send people here would not attract a custodial sentence. A good proportion of the alumni of this training centre are discharged back to their units and have creditable careers in the services.
