Welcome to the July Issue

Well, summer is finally here and the country’s thoughts are turning towards the Summer Olympics. We are lucky to be in such close proximity to one of the 2012 Olympic Venues with Hadleigh farm playing host to the Mountain Biking events on the 11th and 12th August. The venue is expecting over 20,000 visitors over the 2 days!

Our Olympic article on page 6 looks at the

history of some of the symbols associated with

the Olympic Games. We also have a lovely

article over 2 pages - page 8 and 16 in which

June Collison shares her memories of Canvey

Island in the 1950s. If you enjoy reading

people’s memories of Canvey Island, this

month we are offering a £2 discount on our

book “Your Canvey Memories” - see page 17

The Olympic Games

Excitement is really beginning to build now in the run up to the 2012 Olympics. The Summer Olympic Games will be held in London from 27th July to 12th August 29th August to 9th September. There are many symbols of the games and here is a brief look at their origins.

The Rings

The Olympic Rings are five interlocking rings

that stand for the five continents - Africa,

America, Asia, Australia and Europe and the

athletes from around the world. The colours of

the rings are blue, yellow, black, green, and

red respectively. They were chosen because at

least one of these colours is found on the flag

of every nation.

The symbol was originally designed in 1912

by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of

the modern Olympic Games and was first used

at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics.

The Flag

On the Olympic flag, the rings appear on a

white background. At the Olympic Games, the

flag is brought into the stadium during the

opening ceremony. After its arrival, the flag is

hoisted up the flagpole and it must fly in the

stadium during the whole of the Games. When

the flag is lowered at the closing ceremony, it

signals the end of the Games.

Motto

The motto of the Olympic Games is “Swifter,

Higher, Stronger.” These three words

encourage the athlete to give his or her best

during competition and to view this effort as a

victory in itself. In other words, the most

important thing is not to win but to take part!

The Flame

The Olympic flame is one of the best-known

features of the Games. From the moment the

flame is lit to the moment it goes out, a very

precise ritual is laid down :

The lighting: In memory of the Olympic

Games’ origins, the flame is lit in Olympia,

Greece, some months before the opening of

the Games.

The relay route: The torch is carried by relay

from Olympia to the host city of the Games.

Arrival at the stadium: The day of the

opening of the Games, the flame enters the

stadium. With the lighting of the cauldron by

the last relay runner the flame is transferred

from the torch to the place where it will

continue to burn for the entire length of the

Games. The flame is extinguished on the final

day of the Games at the closing ceremony.

Mascots

Since the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble,

France, the Olympic Games have had a

mascot, usually an animal native to the area

or occasionally human figures representing

the cultural heritage. The first major mascot

in the Olympic Games was in the 1980

Summer Olympics in Moscow. Nowadays,

most of the merchandise aimed at young

people focuses on the mascots, rather than the

Olympic flag or organization logos.

Canvey Memories - June Collison

“My parents were introduced to Canvey Island as teenagers. My grandparents saved hard throughout the year and brought their family of 3 girls and 1 boy to spend a week or a fortnight at a bungalow wither at Wintergardens or Newlands.

When my parents married, they saved up

enough to purchase a plot of land in 1933 and

an uncle who was a carpenter helped my

father to build a bungalow in May Avenue.

That is how my sister Eileen and I came to

spend our holidays on Canvey Island and later

move there permanently.

At the time of the flood, I was 16 and a half

years old and working for A.R McKay &

Sons Builders Merchants at Leigh Beck. Mr

Stoddard, the General Manager, spent a good

part of that fateful night on the telephone

negotiating a contract with the Essex River

Board to supply hardcore for use on the

unmade roads to enable the sea walls which

were breached to become accessible. A small

shed was erected on the front car park of the

Red Cow Public House (later renamed King

Canute.)

Every morning I cycled from May Avenue at

6am to start my day by relieving one of my

male colleagues who had been working

through the night. Our job was to write the

dockets for the many lorry drivers who came

from all over the place with hardcore and

direct them to the roads as per the River

Board’s instructions. This operation went on

day and night for some considerable time.

When everything was back to normal after the

floods, I remember an incident that took

place. A crowd of young men and girls

arrived on Mopeds and tempers flared

between them and some of the local lads at

the Pavillion cafe at the seafront end of May

Avenue. An arrangement was made that they

would settle their dispute the following

weekend. The police got to hear of this and

were well prepared for the trouble that was

forthcoming. Unfortunately, one of the

policemen was injured early on as someone

from the opposing side crept up from behind

and pulled his cape which was linked at the

throat and nearly throttled him. Still, because

of the police presence the fight, which might

have been worse, was short lived and some of

the groups decided to abandon theri mopeds

and leave on buses to return the next day for

their bikes. Obviously, they didn’t know

about the swing bridge as the police waited

there for the buses with the bridge open and

caught the lot as they tried to escape!

ambulances or fire engines ro get

through the traffic without too much

delay. Once again, the bridge played a

big part as the Benfleet Yacht Club,

whose headquarters was an old boat

moored near the bus stop on the

Benfleet side, always needed the

bridge to be opened so they could sail

through. As boats had precedence over

traffic, this happened quite a few times

on a busy Sunday evening.

I left Canvey in 1967 but returned for

a visit in 2010. So much has changed that I

hardly recognised it as the place where my

sister and I wandered across fields with very

few houses and lots of unmade roads.

Nevertheless, it was a day full of happy

memories.

Does anyone remember Harry George the

Plumber commandeering a fairy cycle from a

child at the top of May Avenue when the siren

went for the part time fire service doing his

jacket up as he tried to keep his balance? Or

Mr & Mrs Eaton who ran the printers and

stationers at the top of May Avenue winning

the Dunmow Flitch half of a pig for not

having an argument for a whole year?”

More Canvey Memories - June Collison Cont’d

The Admiral Jellicoe

Much of my leisure time was spent dancing at

the Admiral Jellicoe.The landlord and

landlady were Mr & Mrs Jennings and nearly

every Saturday night, and sometimes during

the week, my friend Phyllis and I enjoyed a

twirl around the dance floor.

Sea Rangers also took up a lot of my time and

the Skipper was Madge Moor who was also

the pharmacist at Venables the Chemist in the

High Street. One event we took part in was

the centenary of the Chapman lighthouse. We

rowed from our moorings at Canvey Yacht

Club in our 22ft Whaler round the lighthouse

to take part in the celebrations.

Early 1950s

In the early 50s, Canvey was a very

popular holiday resort and day trippers

arrived mostly by car or motorbikes

with side cars. The only way on and

off the Island was Long Road and the

traffic was one long queue from the

beach to Benfleet. The police had

every available officer and Special

Constable out - one of them was a well

known local figure “Cockle Jack.” A

plan was worked out so they had gas

every so many cars both ways to

enable the buses to keep to their

timetable and also if necessary enable Traffic on Long Road early 1950s

bizarre and unusual large murals and were

individually named. One room was known

as the “Aquarium Room” whilst another was

named the “Hell Room.” Some very rare

photographs of these rooms can be seen on

the Canvey Community Archive website at

www.canveyisland.org.

During 1938, the Hotel Ozonia was

advertised as having 60 rooms. Each room

was equipped with a cooking area, sink and

bathroom. There was also an “excellent

restaurant” and a dance hall with games.

Each room or flatlet for 2 people would cost

31/6d a week or bed and breakfast was 4/6d.

The hotel was never really commercially

successful. This was mainly due to the

outbreak of World War 2 when the tourist

trade dropped considerably. After the war, it

was purchased by Lt Col H.P. Fielder who

used it for housing people. It was eventually

left empty and derelict before finally being

acquired by the Canvey Council and was

demolished to make way for new flats.

Older residents may remember the Hotel Ozonia which was located at the bottom of Seaview Road by the Sea Wall. It was built as a temperance hotel in 1936. Temperance hotels were common in Australia in the 1880s but they were also found, to a lesser extent, later in the UK. A Temperance Hotel was simply one that did not serve alcohol.

The Hotel Ozonia was financed by a wealthy

lady who employed esteemed architect Mr

Ernest George Trobridge to design and build

the hotel. Ozonia was three storeys high and

when it was originally built, it had a thatched

roof. This was later replaced with something

more conventional and practical. The exterior

of the first floor had a cedar shingle covering

and the top floor had dormer windows.

An artist was commissioned to paint the

interior and each room was decorated

differently. Some of the rooms showed

beautiful gardens but others boasted fairly

QR Codes - Hints & Tips You might have seen codes like this popping up everywhere with no explanation to the uninitiated as to what we are supposed to do with them!

So far this week, I have seen them in

advertising leaflets delivered through the

door, in the Evening Standard newspaper

and on an advertisement hung up in the local

shopping centre. So what are they?

QR Code is an abbreviation for “Quick

Response Code” and is the trademark for a

type of matrix barcode first designed for the

automotive industry. The code consists of

black modules (square dots) arranged in a

square pattern on a white background. The

information encoded can be a web site URL,

telephone number or business card

information.

To read the information in the QR Code, you

need to download and install a special

program called a “QR Code Reader” onto

your laptop (which also needs a web camera)

or an app onto your mobile phone. When

you run the program/app, you simply point

the camera at the QR Code, position the

image within an onscreen grid and it will

automatically guide you to the website URL.

Download a Laptop “QR Code Reader”

You will need to do a Google Search for a

QR Code reader - download it and then

install the program onto your laptop. Look

for the “Quickmark QR Reader” which is

free for personal use and can be used to read

QR codes or generate one for your own website

URL for advertising purposes.

Download a QR Code Reader for your iPhone, iPad or Android Phone

Do a Google Search on your phone or iPad for

“QR Code Reader App” and download the one

from Warrior (this one worked for me.) To use,

you simply run the App and point the camera at

the QR Code and

poition it inside the

on-screen grid - the

App will probably

“Beep” and then

load the relevant

website.

Try it out on the

codes on this page!
