Rowhedge
Rowhedge is a village in the Colchester borough of Essex, England. It is located just over southeast of Colchester town centre, and is part of the civil parish of East Donyland. ==Geography== Rowhedge is on the right (west) bank of the tidal River Colne and is the first settlement downstream from Colchester. The small town of Wivenhoe is on the opposite bank, but slightly further downstream; Fingringhoe is just to the south, on the opposite bank of the Roman River. Throughout the 20th century, Rowhedge and Wivenhoe were linked by a ferry. A barrier, similar to the one on the River Thames which shields London, was completed on the Colne in 1994. Rowhedge, Wivenhoe and Colchester all benefit from its protection from flooding.〔East Donyland〕 The main thoroughfare in Rowhedge, the High Street, runs parallel to the Colne. At one time, it connected two areas of ship and boat construction and maintenance - the Upper Yard to the north, and the Lower Yard to the south. These were often known as 'Up Street' and 'Down Street' respectively.〔Leather p. 5〕〔Watling, p. 7〕 With the decline of ship building, housing estates have been built in both areas.
