Tilbury St. Chads sits on the north bank of the River Thames inside Thurrock, England, covering part of the riverside town of Tilbury. The ward mixes low-lying marshland and industrial river frontage dominated by the nearby Port of Tilbury, with views across the water to Gravesend and Kent and transport links via the A13 and Tilbury Town railway station.
Locally it sits close to the historic Tilbury Fort, famed for Elizabeth I’s 1588 speech, and the long‑running Gravesend–Tilbury ferry underlines the area’s riverine character. The economy is shaped by port and logistics activity, while the community reflects a mix of working‑class housing, pockets of regeneration and longstanding local groups and churches around St Chad that anchor village‑style social life within an industrial landscape.
