A Postcard from Manningtree, Essex - 9th January 2024

We're off to Holbrook near Alton Water to get Harry's saxophone fixed, so as we're in the area we decide to visit Manningtree. Manningtree is one of the stations on the main line between Diss and London, so has been transited perhaps 1,600 times during the ten years commuting by train to London, however it's the first time actually visiting it properly.
