About Tilbury - show infohide info

Tilbury is a town on the North bank of the River Thames, at the point where the river narrows to about 800 yards. As a result, a deep water port was established here to take ships too large for berthing points further down the Thames. The town of Tilbury has a population of approximately 12000 inhabitants. The location of Tilbury is famous for being the location where Queen Elizabeth I placed her troops to prepare for invasion by the Spanish, where she gave the famous speech which incorporated the words "I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too". A fort was established at Tilbury in 1539 by Henry VIII. A second was built in 1650, by sir Bernard de Gomme, the chief army engineer of Charles II. The fort was completed in 1680, and was used for defensive purposes until 1950. Over the years the forts at Tilbury have been important, particularly during the Spanish Armada and the Anglo-Dutch Wars. Today, the fort is now a national monument, with several interesting features, including a water gate to allow access to the quay on the river from inside the fort. The defences of the fort include two moats, a ravelin and a redan. Until the 1960's, Tilbury was the port for London bound passenger liners. Today, Tilbury is still a major container and cago port, and still sees a lot of passenger traffic. Tilbury is one of the top three ports in the UK. The town has a population of approximately 12000 inhabitants. Today, the town has two railway stations. These are both on the lines between London Fenchurch Street and Southend, Pitsea and Stanford-le-Hope. Towns close to Tilbury include Thurrock, Grays, Gravesend, Northfleet, Dartford, Woolwich, Chatham, Gillingham, Swanscombe, Swanley, Basildon, Romford and Ilford.
