Second World War house fortified as strong point and ammunition store. The contemporary records states, “House fortified as strong point and ammunition store. ‘Sunnyholme’, Quendon Way.” <1> Quendon Way is a road which parallels the railway line to the north of Frinton town centre. However, an aerial photograph taken in July 1946 shows no more than 100 yards of the road built at that time, with just two houses. The short length of road is at the east end where it joins Central Avenue; the two houses are on the north side. <2> Visited in May 2012 as part of the Defence of Tendring survey The road now extends to the west to join up with Waltham Way, with many houses on both sides. The two wartime houses, now Nos. 55 and 57, survive as typical 1930’s flat-roofed, white detached residences. “Sunnyholme” is now No. 57.
