Talk:Tilbury
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is a redirection from West Tilbury to Tilbury. I believe this is misleading since the Tilbury page is largely about the modern (19th and 20th century) town of Tilbury. The traditional parish and village of West Tilbury is and was quite distinct. I believe there should be a separate entry for West Tilbury, but I don't know how to do this.

I've now created a West Tilbury page. Rjm at sleepers 09:34, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tilbury tree -hoax?
I believe the paragraph about the Tilbury tree is a hoax - but it is such a delightful story that I'd like it to be true. Does anyone have a source?

Yes, it's a hoax. Check [1] for quite a bit of additional nonsense (but amusing nonsense!] on the subject. The Thurrock Museum and Thurrock History Society have never heard of it.
[edit] Queen Elizabeth and the Tilbury Camp
I believe this section is not correct - the troops could have crossed to Kent very easily if they needed to. I intend to re-write it and move it to the West Tilbury page.
