I’m not 100% sure as I was only 5 back in 1984 but I do remember him living in a wooden house down by a river/canal in Canvey we would visit a few time a year with our dad

He lived by the lake near the Oysterfleet and used to display in Knightswick centre. Apart from his own creations he would copy photos. Absolutely gifted.

His house was called The Laurels. He used to paint and sell from the front garden. This is his in large motorhome he used to travel around to fairs and paint.

He had a gimmick I believe where he would paint anything you asked for in 10 minutes. He would go out in this ‘camper’ and do that at local fair

My Parents have over 10 of his paintings all over thair house. Brought them when he was pitched for a period of time in Jaywick, Tower Caravan Park (as it was called then). Some of them he painted to order for my partents. I remember as a lad watching Alan paint for hours. I am early 50’s now. He was a really nice chap and really talented. Would love to know more about his life and what happened to him mid 80’s onwards.

Thank you for that Nathan but it still does not tell us what the article was in 1984.
We have about Nessie elsewhere on the site.
