Description (revised) Seller assumes all responsibility for listing this item.
Recently www.ConcreteBarge.co.uk ran a competition where visitors were invited to send in pictures of how they see a future Canvey Island. Believe it or not, the Island does have a history (Visit the Heritage Centre down Long Road to see such relics as the headless horses skelton found in the lake and lumps of concrete from some old oil barge from down the point). Most evidence of her history has been destroyed in the name of Builders verses "Eyesore".

This picure sent in by local artist Terry Lellow, paints a nightmare scenario where all the bungalows are replaced by red brick 4 bedroom houses that you can't get a shoe horn between with postage stamp gardens and alsation dogs called Lady or Sheaba. As you can see the promised new Thames crossing is in place after the historical Oil Refineries were destroyed to make way for this short cut to the garden of England.. Canvey's green belt with major store en-suite.

Some Local History about Canvey-on-Sea

Canvey was originally bought off the Dutch natives called 'Vermoidens' by Jack 'King Hester' for a handfull of Argos jewelry and nike sportsware .. the Lobstersmack public house was Dickens insperation for 'Great Expectations' (My what Larks), as was every other pub up the Thames between Foulness and London. The Labworth Cafe was built and designed by Brunel who also built the Coathanger bridge in Sydney Australia. The Paddocks Hall is called 'the paddocks' because it once housed heards of long tail sheep.

The winning bidder will receive by email the picture as shown in jpg format. All profits go to the upkeep of the site and whitewash for the inverted cortina tyres I have in my front garden for flowerpots.
