Picture

This article would greatly benefit from a picture of one or two brooms, to give an indication of their appearance. Are any still in situ - or does anybody out there have any open-source pictures they could upload? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 13:19, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The brooms are no longer there and I suspect they've been gone for at least a century.

Why?

It's fascinating that this dangerous, soggy way was ever considered a viable route to Foulness, and that anyone would choose it (as opposed to, say, taking a rowboat the short distance across Havengore Creek), let alone expend resources on the construction of the six headways. What were they thinking? GPS Pilot (talk) 08:29, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Another why: Why didn't the track hug the high-tide mark more? Surely that would have been a lot safer? Also, after the split of the creek, both branches are at points less than 50 m wide. That's still a lot, and building a wooden footbridge would have been expensive... but they managed to find the resources to build the headways. Or they could have installed a rope-guided foot ferry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.114.146.117 (talk) 05:01, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
