Restored and Colourised Photograph’s

This is a small collection of photographs originally captured in black and white, which have been meticulously hand-restored due to damage to the original glass plate, negative or photograph, and subsequently brought to life with digital colorization.

Maldon's Military

A selection of photographs taken throughout the duration of the First World War.

Most were captured at the military training camp on Maldon Road (A414), opposite Limebrook Farm, and in the areas behind what is now the Morrisons supermarket. Others were taken at the Promenade, Mundon Road, Spital Road, Maldon West Railway Station, Tenterfield Road, and the Maldon Grammar School playing field on Fambridge Road, now the site of Plume School), High Street on the junction with Market Hill on their way to Maldon East and Heybridge Railway Station en route to the front. Sadly, many of those pictured never returned. A few photographs from Spital Road document the aftermath of the L6 Navy Zeppelin raid in the early hours of Friday, 16 April 1915, when approximately four 2 kg bombs and 30 incendiary devices fell on Maldon and Heybridge.
