AMAZING - i was born in Tilbury and still live there and ive learned more from this video than i already knew. You can actually see my house in the daisy field flood pic ( still standing lol ) always wanted to see inside tilbury hospital and never could find a picture . they knocked it all down and the dwellings (houses) down that way . Crzy how much history this town has - the queen has been here to open riverside train station and even centuries ago some pirate smugglers body was in a cage near the fort so passing ships could see his rotting body as a warning to other criminlas what the king would do to them - We got our name apparently from the great plague times because bodies were put here ( Until they were buried Til-bury ) before they crossed the river to Gravesend . Thanks for this video its great
I was in Tilbury hospital around 1963 I guess, to have extra teeth in my gums pulled out. Also remember Tilbury Ferry station. Part of the terminal to board liners is or has been renovated, beautiful decor inside. I was 1yr 1mth old living in Stifford Clays when the floods happened. I was born a nissen hut in Purfleet which used to be a prison camp for the Germans during WW2. After the war they were converted into living quarters for demobbed married couples who had no where to live, Stifford Clays was built and they got a house there in 1952. Interesting history video.
