The Edge of Town
An unusual feature of the pedestrianised streets in the area is they are named after rivers with no title such as street road or drive. This is the edge of “Welland”

Footpaths from East Tilbury to sea wall
There seem to be two parallel competing footpaths here separated by a flooded area! Other walkers said they followed the path on the left rather than the path beside the fence on the right.

Diversion on footpath 147
The gates ahead bar any further progress on the original line, the red sign points to the new route to the right. The diversion must have been made a long time ago - the area beyond is of landfill and looks very established. The small yellow sign is a public notice concerning a sought-for extension of the time allowed for "restoration" of the site. How an area of low-lying marsh can be restored from a rather high area of landfill without removing what was dumped is a puzzle.
