    Facts about Wivenhoe

    General Info

    Wivenhoe is a town and civil parish in northeastern Essex, England, approximately 3 miles south-east of Colchester. Historically Wivenhoe village, on the banks of the River Colne, and Wivenhoe Cross, on the higher ground to the north, were two separate settlements but with considerable development, in the 19th century, the two have merged. At the 2011 census, the town had a population of 7,637, compared with 7,221 in 2001. The town’s history centres on fishing, shipbuilding, and smuggling. Much of lower Wivenhoe is also a designated conservation area, with many streets being of particular architectural interest.

    History

    In 1884 the town suffered significant damage when it lay close to the epicentre of one of the most destructive UK earthquakes of all time – the 1884 Colchester earthquake. In 1890, there was a population of about 2,000 mostly engaged in fishing for oysters and sprats and in ship and yacht building. A dry dock was built in 1889 and extended in 1904, making it one of the largest on the East Coast; it was demolished in the mid-1960s. In 1960s, Wivenhoe Park was chosen as the location for the University of Essex.
