A Multi cache where you collect dates off two cottages and then complete an easy mathmatical sum which will lead you to the final cache after a short walk.
Shell Cottage.
This little cottage on Ferry Road purportedly built in A B C D making it the oldest habitation left in Hullbridge. The building has undergone several transformations in the last 120 years. The earliest picture we have from the 1900's shows it as a simple tarred weatherboarded affair with a flat roofed bay window and small projecting porch canopy.
Now continue your walk towards the river and you will soon come across Anchor Cottages on your left.
Anchor Cottages.
It is believed that Anchor cottages, Ferry Road, were built for some of the "upper classes" from London to escape The Plague. Presumably it was easier to reach places such as Hullbridge by rivers (Thames and Crouch) than to chance the roads. In part of the 50's and 60's one cottage was used as the Anchor Tea Rooms. The cottages show a date of E F G H on them but It is believed that these cottages are trying to be younger than they really are. A survey once carried out showed that these may have been built as early as 1500s
