The river Medway is seen in background.At the mouth of the rive Thames Lies the Isle of Grain, a Marshy Island on which the Anglo-Iranian oil company is building a new Abadan. On salt-flats which for centuries have known little by the cry of seagulls, a huge refinery is springing up which by 1953 will be processing 4,000,000 tons of crude oil a year. March 6, 1952.
