Did you know the following about your town Dovercourt….

Located in the seaside of Essex, England, Dovercourt may be lesser-known than its adjoining town-port Harwich.  During the 1980s, however, Dovercourt had more than its share of the proverbial 15-minute of fame when the Hi-de-Hi! sitcom of BBC was filmed in the town.  The sitcom had Warner’s Holiday Camp in Dovencourt transformed into the fictional Maplins camp where the story revolved.

Warner’s Holiday Camp has a colorful history in itself having been used as a half-way house in a pre-World War II Kindertransport rescue mission for Jewish children.  This camp has been redeveloped later as a housing estate.  This redevelopment, of course, involved Essex mortage broker services, with the various real estate deals that would have covered the whole gamut of fixed rate mortgage, remortgage, buy to let mortgage, and base rate trackers mortgage.

Properties changing hands in Dovercourt is reminiscent of the town’s estate changing hands in its medieval history.  From the Saxon lord Wulwin in 1086, possession of the Dovercourt estate went to the barony of Aubrey de Vere I up to his descendants the Earls of Oxford up to the 16th century.  When Juliana de Vere married Hugh Bigod during the middle of the 12th century, Dovencourt formed part of the bride’s dowry.
