Interesting Facts About Canvey Island

History of Canvey Island

The discovery of a Roman road found to terminate 109 yards across the creek in neighbouring Benfleet. This suggests a means may have existed to facilitate the salt’s distribution to Chelmsford and Colchester. The recovery of rich items of pottery and glassware of a variety only matched elsewhere by excavations of port facilities. It suggests the Romans may also have exploited Canvey’s location in the Thames for shipping.

General Info

Canvey Island coalesced into a separate civil parish and ecclesiastical parish in 1881. These with separate remits replaced the 17 divisions of the land split largely into grazing meadowland. Since the Norman era by the neighbouring parishes of North Benfleet, South Benfleet, Bowers Gifford, Prittlewell, Southchurch, Hadleigh, Laindon, Pitsea and Vange. In 1926, the parish was converted to the Canvey Island Urban District. It then dissolved along with the Benfleet Urban District in the Local Government Act 1972 to form the local government district and borough of Castle Point.
