This shows the southern part of the Hopes Green estate. The Southend to Fenchurch Street railway runs to the south of the estate in the lower centre of the picture. The road just above (north) of the railway is Woodham Drive which, to the right, leads to Woodham Park Drive and the Bird estate Image Below (south of) the railway, the lane leads to the Benfleet Sewage Treatment Plant Image The small lane leading to the lower right led, at the time of the photo, to the Benfleet Animal Rescue sanctuary, which has now moved to the wedge of the Hopes green estate.
