This great oil painting of Leigh Beck Farm (also known as Clayton’s Farm) by Charles Lloyd Shayes is currently for sale on ebay and the owner ‘porcupineesq’ Patrick Boyd-Carpenter has given us permission to feature it here.
If you are interested in buying the painting (wish I could) you will find it here.
More paintings of the farm this time by Harry Russell can be seen here.

So where exactly are we looking from?
From the same direction as the postcard you have on the Hester story with the well in it, but from further back Dave
Somebody seems to be determined to own it. It ups every time we tried to get in… Good memory of a Canvey farm.
I put the first bid in Robert but it finished at £112
I watched the final seconds when it hopped from £107,51 to £112. Perhaps the new owner will loan it to the Canvey Arts Festival whenever that comes about?
