Thorneycreek Fleet is one of the main natural drains on Canvey Island. This is the view from the Thorney Bay Pumping Station where excess water is pumped out through the sea defence wall into the Thames estuary. Old Victorian Ordnance Survey maps show it as Thornycreek Fleet, without the "e", with a discharge into Thorny Bay.
