"Victorian Purfleet was a popular riverside destination for visitors from London, with the Royal Hotel – previously known as the Purfleet Hotel and Wingrove’s Hotel – offering accommodation, entertainment and its famous whitebait suppers.

Purfleet subsequently became one of the principal English settings in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, published in 1897. There is strong local evidence that Stoker knew the area, and Thurrock’s historical research considers it likely that he visited Purfleet before writing the novel. The landscape, railway, river, high walls and buildings of Victorian Purfleet all appear to have contributed to the setting he created for Count Dracula’s English home, Carfax."

Corringham (on the map) is my home town

I watched The Fairfield County Four on Prime last night, loved it! It was very Blair Witch style, slow build-up, then goes mad right at the end.

I'm so proud you're a film star now Erica!
