Railway east of Purfleet station
The railway at Purfleet has two quite sharp reverse bends, this is the eastern one, which continues through the station behind the viewpoint. Presumably a route carrying on close to the river on low ground was vetoed because of the military establishment that was here, and so a more inland route was required. The bend away from the river here need not have been that sharp, but the route aligned with an old chalk quarry to minimise the work required to get through the chalk outcrop to the north, and minimising work seemed to be the order of the day.

Railway east of Purfleet station
When the industry around here was in its heyday, and used the railways more, a shunting engine used to be parked when out of use at the end of this headshunt. In diesel days it was usually a class 03 from Stratford.
