The Queens Road Residents Association was formally established on 8 July 2006. Its aim was to unite residents in a common effort to protect and enhance the conservation area that comprises Queens Road and its immediate neighbourhood. Its catchment area included Queens Road, Park Road (south of the junction with Valley Road), Colne Terrace, Dentons Terrace and Paget Road (north of the railway line). Some of its activities in the first six years are shown in the images below. More details can be found at the QRRA blog at:

What happened to links that existed in the previous QRRA website? Such as
Grist to the mill: a history of Wivenhoe Mill from 1086 to the mid-twentieth century: Pat Marsden (view online: http://www.essexinfo.net/queens-road-residents-association/assets/documents/grist-to-the-mill )
Hello. I am sorry but I don’t know anything about the server Essex Info which was hosting the QRRA website. I have though added a link from this page which Pat Marsden looked after when she was alive to the page she created about the Wivenhoe Mill that has a link in it to the detailed article she wrote entitled ‘Grist to the Mill: A History of the ‘Wivenhoe’ Mill from 1086 to the Mid-twentieth Century’ was published in Essex Archaeology and History, Vol 38 (2007).
