Tilbury Modern town - now home to one of Europe’s largest container ports, together with a international cruise terminal. Tilbury is part of the Thurrock district situated in the south-west of Essex, and bordering the north bank of the River Thames. To the west is the popular Lakeside shopping complex, and the Queen Elizabeth II bridge, the longest cable-stayed bridge in Europe.
St. Catherine’s Church at East Tilbury is possibly on the site of one of the first Christian monasteries developed in the 7th C. It has a half-built tower constructed by the First World War Garrison of Coalhouse Fort.

Henry VIII built riverside block houses at East and West Tilbury, these later becoming Coalhouse and Tilbury Forts. Coalhouse (constructed 1861-1874) is the best example of a Victorian armoured casemate fortress in the south east, built to defend the Thames against a French invasion.
Whilst Tilbury is the best and largest example of 17th C. military engineering in England, showing the development of fortifications over the following 200 years. It was close to here that Elizabeth I made the famous morale-boosting speech to her troops about to face the Spanish Armada in 1588. da non perdere Tilbury Fort, TilburyCoalhouse Fort, Tilbury
