| Title | River Colne on its way to the Sea by Douglas Went |
| Abstract | A collection of photographs by Douglas Went or the River Colne making its way down to the sea. The location of the first photograph is not yet known but an early photograph is at Great Maplestead. The collection ends at Brightlingsea, having had a brief a foray into the Blackwater.
None of the photographs are dated but they are numbered, with some gaps. They are mostly thought to be around 1948, but some are certainly earlier than this.
The prints are all about 8 inches by 10 inches and in good condition for their age. Several have appeared elsewhere, but many have not been seen before. The collection was given to Paul Gallifant sometime ago by Gordon Clarke, his technician at Manningtree School, and Paul has donated it to Mersea Museum archives. Gordon was from South Wales, an ex miner and PTI. All prints are available online.
