The Back on Track project are in the middle of the Development Phase after securing a Development Phase grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to repair and reopen the Grade II* Riverside Station in Tilbury. Their vision is to transform this iconic station into a vibrant community hub, complete with a café, outdoor seating, creative lets, and an exhibition space that celebrates the rich history of Tilbury.
The Tilbury on the Thames Trust have outlined details below
Timeline & Funding
We are working towards a February 2024 submission for our Development Phase application. The building works are anticipated to be completed by 2026, with additional community and educational programmes funded until 2028.
Education & Skills Training
In addition to the building works, we are committed to running an educational programme with local schools and providing skills and training opportunities.
Community Involvement
We are also planning a range of public events, including farmers markets and performances, to make the most of the station’s vast space. A local community fund will be available for groups to pitch their own ideas for animating the building.
