A Banksy style by the pill box on the coastal cycle path at Harwich. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-58270629 The consensus is that this is not a real Banksy because the detail is nowhere near sharp enough.
Convertible space on a Class 360 train, used for outer-suburban services on the Great Eastern line from London Liverpool Street.
Convertible space in a Class 321 train used on the Harwich branch - disappointing after several weeks travelling on German trains (although the seats do fold up).
Access to the Harwich International ferry terminal - access to Harwich International railway station is not signed, but it's the next exit to the right, through a security post.
A cut-through here would create a useful alternative route to the Harwich International ferry terminal
End of cycleway on the original route of the railway to Harwich, before it was diverted in 1883 via the Parkeston Quay ferry terminal.
Cyclists towards Harwich keep left here; cyclists out of Harwich can go to the right then cut back along the promenade - or contiue behind the camera.
There's a short stretch of shared-use footway to link from Cliff Park to Barrack Lane avoiding the B1352.
It's not obvious in this direction, but there's a short stretch of shared-use footway to link from Barrack Lane to Cliff Park avoiding the B1352.
Cyclists on NCN route 51 are supposed to dismount, turn very sharply right and walk down to the road. When there's an obvious route straight ahead (ie behind the camera).

Classic Sustrans - there's a good route to the right, but cycles have to take the bumpy narrow path to the left.

Map of the cycle route from Harwich and Dovercourt to Harwich International ferry terminal (aka Parkeston Quay)
A cyclist on a ride from Colchester arrives at Harwich Low Lighthouse; looking out over the harbour towards Felixstowe.
Rubbish cycle parking at Harwich International station. Despite being covered and well lit who would want to leave their bikes here as they cannot be properly secured easily.
A striking bench at Alresford Creek, in memory of Dave Gardner. It really stands out in the sunlight!
Unnecessary barrier to cycling on an off-road section of the North Sea Cycle Route in the Hangings Harwich. Very poor design.
cycle ramp / chute set onto long steep flight of steps between upper and lower seaside promenades at Clacton on Sea & by the pier). The steepness and length means that considerable physical strength is needed to be able to negotiate the ram ... [more]
A so called shared path, put in by Council & will be a place of conflict with pedestrians. Time Councils & Sustrans got their act together.

A pathetic rail for bike wheels to aid cyclists down or up these steep stairs (see #30421), between two levels of cycle route following the coast.
Cycle path running alongside the seafront comes to an abrupt end, to continue at the bottom of this steep flight of stairs. Not to worry though, cyclists are specially accomodated for (see #30422).
On most, if not all, of the National Cycle Network stickers in Harwich, Fleet have brandished its own logo.
Worn cyclist warning sign painted on the road, and National Cycle Network sign at the side of the road. The Fat Goose sign is poorly placed, detracting attention from the NCN sign.
The Ramsey Road advisory cycle lane comes to an end at the Main Road mini roundabout. This road is wide enough for a mandatory cycle lane along its length (see also #22813).
Ramsey Road has an advisory cycle lane along it, but because it doesn't have yellow lines, cars can park in it at will. This road is comfortably wide enough for a mandatory cycle lane, and since all the houses have driveways, there shoul ... [more]
The only indication of a tragedy on Phoenix Bridge. The place where 20-year old Stacey Turner lost her life. (See http://www.gazette-news.co.uk/news/local/harwich/4865636.Cyclist_dies_after_collision_with_lorry/)
