Canvey Lake & houses in Lakeview
Image: © David Kemp Taken: 11 Aug 2018
Canvey Lake is said to be what remains of an old creek that once flowed through and around the five islets which originally made up what was once Cana Island. The lake is a curved and narrow stretch of brackish (slightly salty) water three-quarters of a mile in length. Over the years it has been a nature reserve. Canvey being the densely populated place it is, the lake is bounded on both its sides by houses.
