Very cool history and shot! L/F!

Richard Reeve replied:

Thank you, Meg. We used to play around this area nearly 40 years ago. Unfortunately the building still needs a lot of renovation, but at least it's there.

Artist's Description

Built in 1667 at the cost of �392 on the site of the Naval Yard, now Navyard Wharf, it was moved in about 1932 to its present site on a a slight eminence where once stood "Queens Mount" a battery for the defence of Harwich.

The crane is worked on the tread wheel principle, and is operated by two men walking in the interior of the wheels. There are two wheels producing balanced action, each wheel being 16ft in diameter and 3ft 10ins wide. The wheels are spaced 4ft apart on a common axle. the jib has a projection of 17ft 10ins

The earliest known reference to this type of crane was by the Romans in 25BC. By the Middle Ages such cranes were common in the UK. However, by the end of the 17th century these cranes had only one drum and the power was supplied by a donkey.

The Harwich treadwheel Crane is believed to be the only British example of a two-wheel man-operated treadwheel crane.

About Richard Reeve

Richard Reeve

I am a visual story teller based in southern Pennsylvania, USA and my imagery is inspired from everyday objects and situations I encounter through my travels. My work has been exhibited and sold at the Bradford Avenue Galleries (Allinson Gallery and Huston Gallery) at Chester County Art Association, in addition to this online store. My images have also been exhibited at Panorama XXL, Rouen, France and the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati, USA. I hope you will find something that inspires you, amuses you, makes you think, smile, frown, or perhaps just scratch your head. Go on, dive in... and for those of you who do so, I offer a big thank you for looking through my window on the world! ~Richard ReevePhotos Inspiring...
