Canvey Island

This is a picture of the sea front at Canvey and the sea wall. In 1953 when the flood happened the sea wall was only a little wall. So the sea could easily break through and destroy the sea wall. The Sea front years ago was a nice place to play, but now people hardly ever go down to the sea front. Also the sea wall was only made out of stone and brick, so it is easy for the water.
