| Note | Holy Haven is the snuggest little harbour in all the Thames estuary for small craft. There are two houses opposite the anchorage, the coast-guard station and an old-fashioned inn whose eggs and bacon have comforted many a yachtsman. All around extends a flat country of marsh and pasture intersected by broad ditches, looking very much like a Dutch landscape; and the likeness is increased by the presence of quite a fleet of schuyts, for the creek is much frequented by the Dutch eel-boats, the reason being, so a Dutch skipper, whose statement may or may not be true, told me, that the Hollander eels will not live in any British waters save those of the muddy channel that surrounds Canvey Island. -- Quote from 'The Falcon on the Baltic" by E.F.Knight. From http://www.canveyislandhistory.com/history.htm In and around the Lobster Smack Inn By far the oldest, and certainly the first fully-licensed, premises on the island was the Lobster Smack Inn. It nestles conveniently close to the sea wall on the south coast at the furthest end of Haven Road. Indeed this position has been very favourable for passing trade in its time since the waters in the Hole Haven creek are deep, providing a suitable shelter for vessels. The inn has also been known as the Sluice House and the World's End. The wooden structure boasts a lip-tile dating from 1510, although this in itself does not give conclusive proof of age. It is thought that a more reasonable date for its construction would be around the 17th century. The hostelry claims a licence dating from the time of Elizabeth I. It has been described as an unobstrusive but comfortable inn with comparatively lofty rooms, supported by oak beams. A boatman could expect to get very reasonable bed and board accommodation here, including large four poster beds. The inn was referred to by Dickens in Great Expectations. |
