Bata shoe factory

The disused Bata shoe factory which was the focus of the 1930's development of the 'Bata-ville' of East Tilbury. The factory mirrors the modernist Eastern European aesthetic of the rest of the town - although this functional uniformity is threatened by works planned for the Thames Gateway redevelopments.
