In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Thames Haven like this:
THAMES-HAVEN, a place on the S verge of Essex; on the river Thames, 3½ miles E by S of Stanford-le-Hope. A project was formed about 1850 to excavate a dock here, 1,000 feet by 800, chiefly for colliers, and to connect it by a branch railway with the London and Southend railway.
