Grays and Tilbury, Essex
Grays / Tilbury, Essex
Grays has a market and a high street that the rest of the country has largely ignored. Tilbury has the fort and the docks - a genuinely industrial waterfront. Both are underused by photographers.
Best time: market days at Grays. Tilbury any time.
Look for: tilbury Fort and the Thames - a vast, flat, industrial landscape. Grays market for the everyday.
Camera Settings
Any. Wide angle for the industrial scale at Tilbury.
The Assignment
Go to Tilbury and photograph the Thames. Nobody else is photographing this.
