Grays
Grays is the largest town in
Thurrock, an area in the South-East of
England. Thurrock was a district of the
county of
Essex until
1998, when it became an independent
unitary authority area (which is equivalent in rank to a county). 'London Road' is the main road which links Grays town centre with
Lakeside and Purfleet. Local sites of interest include the Thameside Theatre and the Thurrock History Museum. Grays in the past was a small town located just below
London and was rapidly becoming an industrial dumping ground for the capital. It was made up of small farms and local industrial businesses with links to London.
