Earthwatcher's photos with the keyword: Maldon

Originally uploaded for the Guesswhere UK group. Photo taken from in front of the statue of Byrhtnoth, looking south-east down the Southey Creek branch of the River Blackwater at the top of a high spring tide.

The statue of Byrhtnoth (Brithnoth), at Maldon, Essex. He was an Anglo-Saxon earl who confronted the invading Danes at the Battle of Maldon in 991. See here: www.battleofmaldon.org.uk/index.htm

This is at the confluence of the River Chelmer (main body of water) with the Heybridge Creek (where the barges are moored/grounded) which is where the River Blackwater joins, and thereafter taking that name downstream (right).
