Canvey Island: Station Road

The road name is intriguing. Canvey Island does not have a railway, yet alone a railway station, nor is there any evidence that it ever did have one. Perhaps the station referred to is a drainage pumping station or maybe a railway was intended to be built, and the road was named in anticipation. This is the view from the sea defence wall.
