Framed Print of Manouevring a concrete caisson JLP01_01_063_04

TILBURY DOCKS, CHADWELL ST MARY, THURROCK, ESSEX. A view of the cooling water intake caisson for Coryton Oil Refinery leaving Tilbury Dock to begin its journey down the Thames.
During the Second World War, John Laing and Son Ltd had built some of the floating caissons for the Mulberry harbour which were used in the D-day landings. This 4, 200 ton concrete water intake caisson was built along the lines of the Mulberry harbour and was towed 8 miles down the Thames from Tilbury Dock to be installed as part of Coryton Oil Refinery on the 14th March 1952. It was built between 1951 and 1952. Discover Historic England images to buy as prints, wall art or for licensing. Find your favourite places or explore our collections. © Historic England Archive.
