Canvey Island, Essex Giclée Art Print

High-quality art print of Canvey Island, a seaside town in Essex, depicting a view of the Labworth Restaurant & Café on Western Esplanade. A Grade II listed building, the Labworth Café is one of the finest examples of modernist architecture, designed by Ove Arup - who would go on to be design engineer for the iconic Sydney Opera House. Today, the Labworth Café is a popular local restaurant, offering diners a panoramic view over the Thames Estuary.

Canvey Island itself is a large coastal town in the Castle Point district of Essex. Canvey Island flourished through the 20th century, becoming Britain's fastest growing seaside resort in the interwar years, and later becoming a major hub for the petrochemical industry. The island, of about seven square miles, is home to around 45,000 people, and is protected by more than 14 miles of sea walls. 

This Essex illustration by artist Tom Wisdom is a high quality Giclée art print on cotton-rich fine art paper.
