Dist:0.3km<br/>On New Year's Day a local bus company, Stephensons of Essex, organised special services over a number of routes normally served by other operators. As in past years several vintage buses were used for the purpose. The vehicle here is SRM7, a former London Transport Routemaster now owned by Timebus Travel of St Albans who specialise in providing vintage LT buses for special events. The bus is standing near Castle Point Transport Museum from which it will shortly leave on route 3 to Southend.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This huge estate public house has been a fixture on Canvey Island since the 1930s, and was for many years the only hotel on the island. Indeed the 1956 Ordnance Survey map actually describes it as such. This was the local and regular haunt of the utterly underrated Dr Feelgood band, and the cover photo of their 5th album, Be Seeing You, released in 1977, featuring Lee and the rest of the group, (but not Wilko Johnson who had just very recently left the group), was taken in the public bar. R.I.P. Lee Brilleaux (1952-1994)

Dist:0.5km<br/>This is the rear of the north terrace of the Brockwell Stadium, home of Canvey Island FC, who currently play in the Isthmian League Premier Division, sponsored by Rymans, at the 7th tier level of the English football league pyramid. Founded in 1926, they rose from being an Essex Senior League side in 1992 to the Football Conference in 2004. The 2001-2002 season saw them achieve their greatest successes in the FA Cup with 1-0 victories over Football League sides Wigan Athletic (away) and then Northampton Town (home) in the First and Second Rounds, before losing 4-1 at Burnley in the Third. Earlier, in the 1995-1996 season, Brighton & Hove Albion survived a tricky First Round FA Cup tie here, drawing 2-2, before beating Canvey Island 4-1 in the replay at the Goldstone Ground.
