Thundersley Manor House and the Shops
Thundersley Manor is the large white house to the top centre. The road from top left to bottom right is Manor Road, with the Manor Road shops just visible to the top left. The road curving from the top round to the left is the Church Road (always with a 'the' by the locals). It extends from St Peter's Church well to the east, almost to St George's church to the west.

Images of the sun during the Eclipse of 1999
In Essex, the eclipse of August 11th was only partial. Near the maximum, the sun was filtering through the foliage of trees in my garden to create a series of images of the partially eclised sun.

Zach Willsher pub, New Thundersley
The Zach Willsher is named after a local publican of many years ago. It lies on the junction of Manor Rd (on the right) and Church Road (across the front). The notice on the pub wall (by the door) says: "Named after a local boat house owner Zachary Willsher, who also ran an ale house in the 1840's for the benefit of the local farm workers".

Butcher's Broom in suburbia
Butcher's broom is a member of the lily family despite its appearance. The spiky-looking leaves are actually flattened stems (cladodes). It is a characteristic species of ancient woodlands (rather than suburban gardens), so I was rather surprised to find it growing in the rather stony soil between our house and next door. I would like to think that it was there as a hangover from the days when south-east Essex was covered in ancient wildwood. However, it probably was bird-sown, the birds being fond of those juicy-looking berries. There are ancient woodlands within a few hundred metres of our garden.

Manor Cottage, Benfleet
This cottage in Manor Road, now largely surrounded by more modern houses, was built in 1925 when this area was one of those sites in South Essex where plotland developments were taking place. Very few plotland dwellings now remain.
