The old docks in the East End... Sometimes the redevelopment works, sometimes it doesn't quite. It's noticeable how much money has been invested here, and it's certainly a stylish and undoubtedly very expensive place to live. But it was so empty. So soulless. Apart from a few pigeons, there was no sign of life. When a delivery van did turn the corner or a person hurried by, the sound echoed loudly and felt even more lonely. The square is beautifully laid out, but for me, it's absolutely NOT inviting. I sat down anyway and took a break to see if anything would happen. Maybe in the summer? I was there in February. 🤔

Watch out for pedestrians and dogs, great place to stop to refuel.

Easy route, suitable for all bikes and ages. Can be bumpy in places.

nice place where spotting ducks and dickheads

Bannister Green Halt was sited on the up side of the line and consisted of a clinker platform with timber facing raised to rail level; it was attended by staff from Felsted or Rayne Stations. It was one of two halts built by the GER in 1922 to attract passengers to the railway and counteract the then recently introduced bus service. Passengers joining or alighting at the halt were required to use retractable steps mounted by the side of the coach and operated by the guard.

I stopped here for lunch. There’s some seating around a tree. I notices some water taps around the edge of the small woods, looking down at the run way beneath. Please take your rubbish with you.

Heading out of Braintree you hit the main road after this point. Careful of the traffic!
