Bridgemarsh Island

About 1/2 miles past Althorne Railway Station is the remains of Bridgemarsh Island which was farmed until it was flooded in 1928 killing all the livestock and forcing the farmer, Stan Clarke, to move onto the mainland.Since then the sea has further eroded the island which has caused considerable silting in the River Crouch.
A brick and tile works were sited on the island that used a tramway to convey the material to and from a quay on the River Crouch where barges could provide waterborne transport.
Good views of the island can be had from the main Burnham to South Woodham road.
