Foresters

The building is a timber framed and plastered house which was built circa 1450. It is thought to be the oldest house in Harwich and was 'Foresters Arms' public house from 1800 to 1940 when it fell victim to an incendiary bomb during WWII. It stood derelict for 9 years when it was bought and lovingly restored by the late Harwich Society President, Mrs. Winifred Cooper and her husband. On her death in 1999, Mrs. Cooper left Foresters to the Harwich Society so that it could be used as the HQ and resource centre for the Society.
