Due to popular demand, I am pleased I can now add Benfleet to my local poster portfolio. Benfleet is a town in the Castle Point district of Essex.
The Battle of Benfleet took place here between the Vikings and Saxons in 894.

At the base of the poster, I have referenced some of the local pubs such as The Hoy and Helmet also, the iconic Church of St Mary the Virgin which dates to around the 12th century and even predates the neighboring Hadleigh Castle. You can also see the railway station that was brought to the town in 1855. Benfleet railway station connects the town with Southend and London Fenchurch Street.
As you work your way up the poster and follow Essex Way as it zig-zags up Benfleet Hill, you will find Benfleet Water Tower amongst some of the large houses on Benfleet Road.
