Welcome to the new version of the Unlocking Essex's Past website!
In addition to all the usual features, we have now added a GIS application which enables you to view monuments on a map
and search for others in the same area. Extra features added to the monument search means you can search for a site
by name or by status, so you can now search specifically for listed buildings. We have also updated the database and added
more photographs, so there is now even more information than ever before on this site!
We hope you enjoy using this site, but if you have any problems, queries or suggestions, please do not hesitate to get
in touch with us. You can also use the online feedback form, post a note on the bulletin board, or contact us directly
by clicking on the help button.

Tilbury Fort
The elaborate fort at Tilbury was built as part of a programme of defenses along the Thames, following a Dutch attack in 1667 where many ships were lost. It continued in use as a defensive site up until the Second World War, although by the late 19th century the emphasis had moved to the nearby Coalhouse Fort.
