Stack of roadway sections
This required some study before the penny dropped. They are abandoned on a part of the Occidental refinery construction site, but whether they date from this aborted project or from some later endeavour is unknown.

Old Oil Jetty, Canvey Island
This is the landward end of an old oil jetty which serviced oil storage tanks which were sited on the land in the background of the photo - all long gone.

Oil Jetty Steps, Canvey Wick
The metal staircase of the semi-derelict oil jetty. Attempts to discourage access (metal hoardings at ground level and removal of some steps) have proved no obstacle to fishing enthusiasts and other sightseers.

Land end of Chainrock jetty
A lengthy jetty built for the aborted Occidental oil refinery and never used. It crosses over the Holehaven Creek deep channel (not actually very deep) using a length elevated above the general level, that is why it starts off uphill to the left.

Occidental Jetty
The Occidental Jetty, at almost a mile long is nearly as long as Southend Pier & is potentially one of the, if not the longest jetty in Europe.
I believe that it was never finished as Occidental left the site back in 1975

Canvey Island: Former Occidental Petroleum jetty at Holehaven Creek
When Occidental Petroleum planned to develop the western end of Canvey Island as an oil terminal they had to build a jetty from the site out across Holehaven Creek to the River Thames where a deep water anchorage could be found for their tankers. In the event planning permission for the site was rescinded, and Occidental abandoned the project in 1975. All the landward oil terminal infrastructure was subsequently eventually demolished, but 36 years after it was abandoned the jetty still stands. The far end can be seen through the near piers. It is about 1,555 metres long, to within +/- 10 metres, as measured using the satellite imagery and scrolling co-ordinates on the Where's the Path website.
