American pool has come to Canvey, with a company's move to upgrade facilities.
The revamped pool hall at Island Gym, on Charfleets industrial estate, has now opened and boasts 14 new tables.

Manager Scott Petty said: "We were pleased to be able to get two American pool tables, which are of a larger size and only have nine balls.
"There is nowhere else on Canvey where residents can play American pool and we are delighted to provide this popular leisure facility."
He hopes pool fans will take up an offer of free membership which allows members to play at the cost of 50p a game.
