Interesting Facts About Tilbury

History of Tilbury

Tilbury’s history is closely connected with its geographical location. Its counterpart on the south bank of the River Thames, Gravesend, has long been an important communications link. It was there that a cross-river ferry was connected, mainly due to the narrowness of the river at this point. In addition, Gravesend and Northfleet both became vitally important to shipping on the Thames. The former as the first port of call for foreign shipping bound for London and the latter as a naval dockyard.

General Info

The curve and narrowness of the river here made it a suitable place to construct forts for the defense of London against foreign invaders. The first permanent fort at Tilbury was a D-shaped blockhouse built-in 1539 by Henry VIII and initially called the “Thermitage Bulwark” because it was on the site of a hermitage dissolved in 1536. The Tilbury blockhouse was designed to cross-fire with a similar structure at New Tavern, Gravesend.
