Towerfield Close is a road on the Towerfield Industrial Estate. The name 'Towerfield' derives (I think) from the tower beneath which railway locomotives were supplied with coal at the nearby Shoeburyness motive power depot. This arrangement ceased when the line was electrified in 1962 but the extensive depot still survives just behind the buildings on the left.
