About this product
Product Information
Canvey Island, an island in the River Thames estuary off the coast of Essex, has a unique history. Its location has seen it welcome diverse people through the ages: from those who first came to harvest the seawater salt, to the Romans and traders who found it an entry point into the British Isles, to shepherds, cheese makers, and many others. Customer reviews: Robert has done a wonderful job including covering areas not found in other publications on Canvey Island's history. A 'can't put down' book! 9 June 2007, Dave Bullock, Prittlewell, Essex This is an excellent book depicting Canvey's past, well written and informative, a must for any local or historian. 27 March 2009, R Shinn, Essex This book outlines the true history of Canvey. I found it to be a fascinating journey through many hundreds of years. It has been thoroughly researched by the author. Many pictures I have never seen before, together with a little bit of the author's humour. It is a definite must for both Canveyites and expats alike.

Canvey Revisited
Convey was very much part of my childhood for those special days out. This book brought back many happy memories. It starts with the floods and describes well the devastation caused to the community. Not exactly a page turner but a good read nevertheless.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
