The Flatford Granary stored grain until the 19th century when flour milling became profitable. Owned by Golding Constable, it passed to his son Abram and was eventually sold to William Bentall in 1846.

About 20m of the pier is now restored and open but that still leaves a lot left to do!

One of the quintessential rural English scenes. A dead end on road, although there is an off-road route that connects to Manningtree if you don't mind some gravel riding.

Looking out across the end of the River Stour, past Shotley pier to Harwich International Port on the other side of the river.

From the National Trust; 'The Granary was used to store grain until it could be processed at either the water or steam mills, a function it continued to provide until the early 19th-century. By the middle of the 18th-century it was more lucrative to mill grain into flour than to full cloth. Flatford Mill was converted into a flour mill and the Granary was used to store grain and flour. Until his death in 1816, Flatford Granary formed part of Golding Constable's (John Constable's father) milling estate. The Granary then passed to Golding's younger son Abram who sold it to William Bentall in 1846.'

Great spot with ferry available across to Harwich and Felixstowe.

Shotley Pier was built in 1894 to enable the Royal Mail to travel between Shotley Gate and Harwich. As well as mail, coal, munitions and sailors also travelled on its rails – the pier is the only railway pier in Suffolk. At the beginning of the 21st century, it fell into a state of disrepair. A fundraising campaign in 2018 enabled supporters to purchase the pier and begin renovations. The works are still ongoing today.

Pub on one side, picnic tables and a byway along the river the other.
