Canvey Island: Sea defence wall and Eastern Esplanade
The grassy area is the landward slope of the massive sea defence wall to the right. Only the occupants of the highest floor of the new residential properties on the left get the opportunity to see over the wall to the Thames estuary beyond.

Canvey Island: The Windjammer
Maybe it's the font, maybe it's the colour, but for some reason reading The Windjammer sign on the building brought back memories of Watney's Red Barrel...! Incidentally the sign on the building on the left advertises the delights of the pub's "Tudor Upper Bar Deck".
Comparing this with Ron's Image shows that the residential block on the right has been built since 2009, and this is the same block visible in Image
The road in front is the Eastern Esplanade and the one to the left is May Avenue. Looking at old Ordnance Survey maps showing the first residential development of the area May Avenue appears to have named Rosewinkle Avenue at the start of its life, while a putting green used to occupy the plot where the new housing block to the right is.
