Canvey Island: Bommel Avenue
Wikipedia states that "Approximately one-third of Canvey's streets have names of Dutch origin." This is due to the amount of Dutch skill and manpower that went into the island's land reclamation efforts of the 17th century. Well, Bommel Avenue, here, almost the nearest street to the south-eastern corner of the island, is an illustration. This is the view from the top of the sea defence wall.
(The co-ordinates, not to mention the cartography, on the Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 scale mapping are somewhat flaky here, and the subject and photographer locations have consequently been taken from the "Where's the path?" website, and checked against larger scale OS mapping. About the first 10 metres of Bommel Avenue are in this grid square.)
