The Day The Sea Wall Broke

A Memory of Dovercourt.

I remember walking to school one morning in a 'crocodile' with the girls from the convent in Dovercourt. We were stopped at the Police Station and told we could go no further. I could see the water lapping not far from the the police Staition. When the water receeded we walked into Harwich to see the damage, there was a boat in the school playground. The school and the catholic church were never used again and later demolished. There is a garage now where the school and church once stood.
