Surely this apparently derelict builders merchants in Upminster Rd Rainham cannot remain in this state for long? The pressure to build on brown field sites in the Thames corridor is immense. I expect there are queues of property developers knocking at the freeholder’s door! Also in this picture you can see the “shrine” to an 11-year-old girl killed on the road near this spot.
