She was buried in St George's Church, Gravesend; her grave's exact location is unknown because the church was rebuilt after being destroyed by a fire. Numerous places, landmarks, and products in the United States have been named after Pocahontas.

@ our aunt & uncle from Merseyside came to stay in Southend on Sea for a holiday when the came to the island they were stopped & their car was searched then they had to say who they were visiting before being allowed past the gate.another thing if you were travelling along the road and an alarm went off you had to pull over and stop while they fired shell between two very large radar type posts.luckily it didn’t happen a lot I don’t think they were live I think it was mainly to test the weapons firing them.

I only ended up on Foulness once about 1960 when a yacht I was delivering ran aground on Foulness Sands. At low tide we walked ashore to make a phone call to get a tow off on the next high tide and were promptly arrested, one of us was left on the sea wall under guard and skipper was taken to the guard hut, questioned and eventually aloud to make the call. We were then told to walk back to the yacht and not come ashore again. We were watched until the launch arrived and towed us up to Burnham on Crouch.

As I grew up in Essex, I always wondered what Foulness was like - now I know a bit of it! There used to be a regular (if not very frequent) bus service out there, but the timetable made clear it was for authorised people (presumably residents and workers/ MOD personnel) only.

I think it is arguable that this is the most dangerous path in England. I think Morecambe bay is far more dangerous due to shifting quicksand and the speed of the tide.

They are Often compared but the broomway is usually agreed as the most dangerous for the same reasons as Morecambe but with the added unexploded bombs etc and the number of deaths recorded makes it the most dangerous

I played darts at the Rose Inn in Wakering in the sixties and two of our team worked on Foulness, they used to go out on the mud at low tide to collect the remains of the shells fired during the full tide. So we only saw them every other week. All weathers, they had a rolling work day. I vividly remember one day they came in for a drink after their shift with ice and snow still on their clothes and faces almost blue. They were always cheerful and didn’t seem to care about their working conditions.

We are going there this weekend (6th). The last time I was there was 40yrs ago, working on a couple of new observation posts. OPX5 and 6. Interesting place to go to. The observation posts were 7 miles from the Landwick Gate. It's a big island. I wonder if the still have all of the old RAF and Navy aircraft there ? They did a lot of work on the Harrier there as well. I think you took a chance wandering off as far as you did. They specifically tell you not to wander around the island.

One night my parents had a fancy dress party, and he dressed up in a grass skirt, drank most of a bottle of brandy and chased this woman up the road. It looked to me like she wanted it 😂

In 1972 the goverment reformed many infantry battalions during the height of the NI troubles. The 3rd battalion of the Royal Green Jackets was the first infantry battalion reformened at Shoeburyness barracks. We often trained on the island and some of the married familes were living in married quarters at he time. Big battalions in the day of 950 men unlike today. Hard times then for us young lads but very memorable at this point in time in our history. Bob
