- Located in the county of Essex, and around 20 miles east of central London, is the town of Grays Thurrock, commonly referred to as, simply, Grays.
Geographically, Grays is situated on the north bank of the River Thames in the borough and unitary authority of Thurrock. It is around two miles east of the M25 motorway encompassing Greater London and parts of neighbouring counties, with the Dartford Crossing linking Essex to Kent in the vicinity.
The name 'Grays' is believed to have originated from Henry de Grey, a courtier of King John who was of Norman descent. De Grey was granted the manor of Greys Thurrock in 1195 by Richard I. Originally Grays was a small port with brickworks and a brewery.
Grays saw a significant increase in population during the 19th century. Much of this was brought about by the coming of the railways. The London, Tilbury and Southend line opened in 1854. Today this same line links up Fenchurch Street station in London to Southend and Shoeburyness, with trains operated by c2c (although at the time of filming, Liverpool Street station was providing a stand-in service for Fenchurch Street).
The local economy of Grays is linked to Port of London industries with the Tilbury Docks located a couple of miles downriver. Retail is also a major employer, with the Lakeside Shopping Centre being located just west of the town centre.
Famous people from Grays include Russell Brand and Joe Pasquale.

Hey, thanks for stopping by!
Great walk thank you for sharing.
Hey, thanks for watching!
I live in Grays, and you could walk all around what town we have left in about 5 minutes. All the decent shops closing and losing quite a few after Christmas happy new year.
Nice town walk. Thank you.
Cheers for watching!
Used to live near there
Lol be you glad you don't anymore
@@AdditionalJargon52 Londoners are openly declaring they are moving to Essex to âtake it over from the white peopleâ. Thatâs genocidal.
I still live theređđđ
Lived there from 1980 to 85. Then the A-13 was a narrow road that was covered with bunnies. Last time I paid it a nostalgic visit was 2000
Why are there no white people there anymore?
@@krob2327 probably going abroad to get a much needed education? Or an income,, for that matter.
@@MAli-xs2pm itâs not a very nice place now thatâs for sure. And you sound delightful speaking about people like that đ
This has given me clinical depression
Imagine living here đđđđ
travelled to Ockendon too
Lived in Grays for few years. Worked in CO-OP and TESCO as a picker. I feel nostalgic when I watch this video. I remember amazing Lunchboxes in chinese restaurant in the grays center.
Why does it look like thereâs about to be a hurricane
No historic buildings, just rows of shops. This town could be anywhere in the UK and you wouldn't remember it. Thanks for your all your walking and videos. Happy New Year
It's true, there are prettier towns out there. But as you may have seen, I don't discriminate or cherry-pick. Happy new year to you too!
It's turned into a mess. Used to be great
Maybe before Lakeside opened, but it's been going downhill -- investment-wise -- since the mid 90s. Apparently the single landmark, the art deco State cinema, is getting turned into a Wetherspoons, as if that'll help anything but ruin what's left of the grand building and draw business away from the few remaining small pubs. Depressing.
Itâs an multi ethic hell hole
@@AdditionalJargon52 where did all the whites go?
Grays performance, Lewis and connections music studio.
13 Ghosts was copped here though!
The Morrison I worked with...
Roseberry road and the puppies...
Absolutely sickening to see what happened to my home town
Nothing happen to your home town, I was oversea student, I came to study at Thurrock Technical college about 50 years ago. I had lived at 90 Bridge Road, I spent two years in your beautiful town, Now I am living in my country. I saw the video, I remember now Natwest bank and KFG in their old places. It used to be excellent public library but I could not see it now. Gray is very beautiful town and still beautiful place to live in

People think Iâm crazy when I say thereâs an agenda against white peoole in Essex. But there are people explicitly stating that they want to ethnically cleanse the area of whites so Iâm going to take them at their word
Yeah great, itâs a fantastic thing.
Grays is a white English town, not diverse.
