About Monkey Street

Monkey Street emerges from the flat, heavy clay of the Essex lowlands as a modest cluster of dwellings defined by the austere horizon of the Tendring district. It lies 3.9 miles south of Manningtree (from Manningtree: bearing 180°T, OS grid TM 109 255), and is situated west-south-west of Little Bentley village. The light here has a peculiar, bruised quality, often catching the pale, weathered brickwork of the older cottages before sliding away into the vast, open fields. To the east, the Little Bentley Village Sign marks a quiet threshold, standing as a sentinel of painted iron against the prevailing winds. The land around Monkey Street drains slowly toward the Tenpenny Brook, where the water moves with a sluggish, deliberate intent through the low-lying hollows. Ancient cropmarks of a henge and round barrow cemeteries persist beneath the topsoil to the north-west, a ghostly architecture of prehistoric intent that the modern plough has failed to fully erase. This landscape demands a patient eye, rewarding the observer with the stark, skeletal beauty of winter hedgerows and the relentless, grey-blue expanse of the eastern sky. Life in Monkey Street remains bound to the rhythms of the seasons, where the damp, fertile earth dictates the pace of the day far more than any clock.
