The Long Shadow - Hadleigh Castle: Black and White Thames Estuary Photography A dramatic black and white fine art print of Hadleigh Castle and the Thames Estuary, captured in low key light with a striking silhouetted skyline.

Hadleigh Castle in shadow looking across the Thames Estuary – a study in light, ruin and open sky. Quiet, stark and timeless.

I stopped at The Hatch for coffee and a mince pie while I was here ☕️🥧 #LeighOldTown #LeighOnSea #ThamesEstuary

Someone said to me yesterday in Southend on sludge "you want to go look around Leigh-on-sea.
So I did. I haven't been to the new town at the top of the hill but the old town by the shore has a certain charm 🌞⛵️☕️🥧 #ThamesEstuary #LeighOldTown #LeighOnSea
