What we called Tilbury Riverside. Most of that has been completely demolished and flattened. The railway station was derelict last time I was there, and the tracks pulled up. |

Tilbury Riverside booking hall still exists and has been renovated as part of Riverside complex. I agree tracks no longer get all the way there (platforms gone), but still go into a (freight only) facility across the road. |
