Dist:0.3km<br/>Tillingham is a rather remote village, near the marshy Essex coast between the estuaries of the Blackwater and Crouch. Weather-boarded buildings are something of a local speciality. The use of weather-boarding in Britain, along with timber framing, is said to have flourished as a result of the imposition of a tax on bricks, in 1784. The cottage just left of centre in this shot I find particularly attractive. It has a so-called gambrel-roof, sloping down quite steeply from the ridge, but then more steeply from just above the level of the dormer windows. The upper floor is 'jettied' out at the gable-end - it overhangs slightly, a pretty sure sign that the building is timber-framed. For further examples of old gambrel-roofed houses see: [[2188138]] and [[2193764]]. My original photo was in colour, on a roll of film I failed to 'process promptly'. It seemed best to settle for monochrome.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The post office is a couple of hundred yards south of the green, and is adjoined by houses and shops in the weatherboarded style popular in the eastern counties of Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk. Further down the street can be seen the Cap and Feathers, one of the two public houses in Tillingham.
