My grandfather was a policeman on Canvey he lived in one of the police houses with my Nan Maud and my mother Cheryl. He had many stories of his time on Canvey.

He would often have to ride bareback the wild ponies back to the station when they got into the town in the night. My Nan Maud was good friends with Jack king on the island.

Grandad was in the police football team and cricket team.
