About

Leigh Beck sits on Canvey Island within the Castle Point borough and centers on a small tidal watercourse of the same name. The area is built on reclaimed marshland, with a visible network of drainage channels and concrete embankments that manage tides and runoff. Streets of modest housing and light industrial plots sit close to the watercourse; narrow footpaths follow the embankments and give direct views over mudflats at low tide. The Beck itself is used for local drainage and small craft moorings rather than commercial navigation, and its banks show saltmarsh grasses and scattered mussel shells when the tide falls.

Local services and community spaces cluster on the higher ground behind the sea defences, while pump houses and sluice gates sit at key points where land meets water. The sound of birds and the change of surface from water to exposed silt mark the tidal cycle here; residents use the embankment paths for short walks and to access fishing spots along the Beck. The built edge and the engineered sea defences remain central to everyday life in the Leigh Beck area.
