Fascinating picture. You must be older than I thought.
I must admit I have no idea. Maybe somewhere around Parkstone, taken from the air?

Thorny question; that looks a bewitching place.

Parkeston Quay

Not Parkeston, looks like Mistley to me. The boatyard was Horlock's, I think.

i guessed but its wrong because of the cliff / hill

 

[nigelm]

I ain't really got a clue but could it be Shotley or there abouts ?

Its got railway lines.....

Canns yard at Harwich?

 

[Leighb]

Too hilly for Harwich I would think, the shape of the land does look a bit like Shotley, but don't think there has ever been railway there.

A scout around the old OS maps (www.old-maps.co.uk) confirms that it is definitely the shipbuilding yard that once upon a time was just downstream of Baltic Wharf, Mistley

Pete surveyed the land prior to those being laid

Aah, humour, but not as we know it Jim/Roger

PVB and Bru got it right......it is indeed Mistley where they say. Picture taken c.1922 and viewable with lots of others on the Aerofilms website. It was one of their mystery unidentified locations which I was able to help them out with. There are lots of other pics that they want help identifying across the country.
Alas I can't find the web link at the mo.

For the record...... I did survey some of the Mistley Rail Incline in the mid 80s when it was still in use (1980s that is Roger/Jim )
