Holehaven Pipeline
A pipeline bridge built by the Occidental Oil company to carry crude oil from a deep water tanker berth on the Thames at Shellhaven, across Holehaven Creek to a refinery at the western end of Canvey Island. The refinery ran into problems with planning consents and the project was abandonned in the mid-seventies with the erstwhile Canvey refinery being demolished but everything to seaward being left in situ to presumeably fall apart by itself. This 1.5 km long and very impressive industrial eye-sore remains.
