This huge estate public house has been a fixture on Canvey Island since the 1930s, and was for many years the only hotel on the island. Indeed the 1956 Ordnance Survey map actually describes it as such. This was the local and regular haunt of the utterly underrated Dr Feelgood band, and the cover photo of their 5th album, Be Seeing You, released in 1977, featuring Lee and the rest of the group, (but not Wilko Johnson who had just very recently left the group), was taken in the public bar. R.I.P. Lee Brilleaux (1952-1994)
