Back in the old days Canvey residents used
to protest about the oil and methane plants. But with the overbuilding of
godawful houses and the sprawling Tory golf course, they're probably the best
part. This painting shows Holehaven in the 1960's, Canvey's golden age of
methane, and is incidentally the original site of the Concrete Barge. It is
only
a matter of time until 'They' destroy this industrial beauty and build more
godawful houses and shopping centres.
