Murals on hairpin bridge
This foot and cycle bridge is a modern replacement for the old road bridge which was the only realistic way for traffic to get over the railway to the docks for many years until the new bridge further west was built. The old bridge was downgraded to light vehicles only, then closed to vehicles, and finally demolished. These murals feature popular singers and their trademark songs. From the left they are Frank Sinatra, Vera Lynn, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Amy Winehouse, a member of N-Dubz (I think), John Lennon (representing the Beatles, judging by the lyric), and three others.

Access ramp to the Hairpin Bridge
The western access to the bridge Image The horse in the foreground was on the end of a shortish chain but seemed well cared for; in fact someone was attending to the other horse on this patch of grass at the time.

Tilbury Docks church
The Church of St. John the Baptist was opened in 1904 with a considerably higher and more ornate roof. Because of foundation problems, the heavy upper part of the church and roof were removed some years later. A replacement lighter roof was built below the level of the clerestory seen here. A further much later modification was to raise the roof a little to enable the clerestory. The various states of the church may be seen at https://www.tilburyandchadwellmemories.org.uk/content/places/churches_and_cemeteries_in_tilbury_and_chadwell/st_john_the_baptist_dock_road_tilbury
