WPG Calendar 2019.
Wakering Photography Group Calendar 2019.
Subject :- The Village of Great Wakering and it’s surrounding Parishes.
My third entry :- "The Broomway" is the historic route to Foulness Island, dating back to Roman times.
It was used as the only way on to Foulness Island before a bridge was built across Havengore Creek, the Broomway could only be accessed at low tide, it was marked by withy’s but could be dangerous at night and in the fog.
The Broomway starts at "Wakering Stairs" on the coast of Essex near Great Wakering, and heads 300 metres out to sea onto the tidal flats of the Maplin Sands.
It then runs for several miles parallel to the coasts of Havengore, New England and Foulness Island, there are several spurs back to farms and MOD slipways on the the island.
Each WPG member submitted three photographs for the 2019 calendar of which only one could be selected for the calendar.
We had three independent judges, Professional Photographer Clarissa Debenham, Accomplished Photographer Stuart Howell and Photography Enthusiast Paul Bates.
I am delighted and humbled that the judges selected this image as one of the twelve for the 2019 calendar.
