TILBURY DOCKS , on the north shore of the Thames, in the county of
Essex
 ,
England
 . They lie opposite Gravesend 25 M. below London
Bridge
  and about the same distance from the Nore, being thus within the port of London. They were constructed in 1886 by the
East
  & West
India
  Docks
Company
 , and were later owned by the London &
India
  Docks
Company
 . The docks are four in number, having, with tidal basin and entrance locks, a
total
  area of 74 acres. The
depth
  of water in the tidal basin is 25 ft. at low tide and 44 ft. at high tide. The length of quayage is about 21 m., and there is extensive warehousing as well as
accommodation
  for passengers, as the largest passenger steamers trading with the Port of London lie here. Railway communication is provided by the London, Tilbury & Southend line, and there is direct connexion for goods
traffic
  with all the northern lines.
