Dist:0.2km<br/>Courtsend was the second largest settlement on the island (after Churchend). Into the 1990's it had its own pub - this building now a private house, then called the Kings Head. Following the death of the last landlord at the end of the 90's, it closed.

Dist:1.3km northwest<br/>This, like the other photos I posted from Foulness, was taken on the day of the sponsored cycle ride organised by the Rotary Club of Thorpe Bay. The cycle route turned left where the marshals are sitting by the cones. Relating to the discussion on this square: on the Rotary Club hand-out it specifies one of the "don'ts" as "Don't take photographs of operational installations or vehicles." I thought this fair enough and followed that guideline.

Dist:1.8km west-northwest<br/>Taken on the day of a sponsored cycle event on Foulness Island. This track (which passes Nase Wick and rejoins road at the old school - now the Heritage Centre)was the only off-road section. The farm buildings at Nase Wick can be seen among the trees in the distance.

Dist:1.8km northwest<br/>This picture shows the foreshore and what looks to be an old landing stage at Crouch Corner on Foulness Island. I am afraid I couldn’t read the [[61416]] even with my binoculars!

Dist:2.0km west<br/>Stunning shot of this beautiful and seldom-visited church on the restricted MOD controlled island of Foulness. This shot looks east towards the side of the church showing the Victorian stonework. At time of taking the photograph my friend and I were being attacked by horseflies which were most prevalent on the island that day.

Dist:2.0km west<br/>Another interesting shot of some old graves outside the church. Many of the graves pre-date the existing building, going back hundreds of years to when habitation on the island was much smaller.

Dist:2.0km west<br/>Taken on the MOD controlled island of Foulness in Essex. Access for the general public is restricted. This is the East Wing of the church. The building depicted here was re-built in 1848 after the original church began to crumble.

Dist:2.0km west<br/>One of many ancient gravestones in the mysterious churchyard at St Mary's, Churchend, on Foulness Island. This is the final resting place of Ionas Allin 'who departed this life in 1769'.
