This is a view from the sea wall looking to seaward somewhere pretty near the place you pinpointed on the map:

It sounds great. Reminds me of the Seaworld days!

Have you been there? Why is it so frightening?
I was there today, I thought it would be a total hellhole but I found it to be pretty cool. The hellhole-ish aspect is that it's just Blackpool on the Thames Estuary - but I like Blackpool so that doesn't bother me - and, anyway, there's some really nice areas even Morrissey might approve of (see above). At one point popped into a pub that had a Hammond organ here, a Fender Rhodes lying over there, a harmonium in the corner and a pulpit. Pub was empty to start with then began filling up with a clientele ranging agewise from 8 to 80 (literally), lots of ageing mods and interestingly dressed OAPs, a band came on playing a kind of Meters meets Brian Auger organ-based funky rock thing. Went for some excellent fish and chips. Etcetera. Would go again!

Yes. Had I elaborated on my post of two years ago, I'd have emphasised how it's a pretty nice place to walk around/hang out in
