The Hythe has been Colchester's port on the River Colne for centuries, and the streets around the quay still hold rows of Victorian houses built for dockers, sailors and mill workers.

Homes and staircases in The Hythe
Homes here tend to be compact Victorian and Edwardian terraces plus later infill, with steep staircases that open straight from a small front room or hall. Floors and walls can be uneven, which matters for how a rail is fixed.
Local tip: On older terraces the stair treads can slope slightly. We measure carefully and use adjustable fixings so the rail runs true.
