I have some old OS maps of London and on one of them there is what looks
like a terminus station a little way outside Fenchurch Street and to the
north of the existing line. I have a huge old Geographia map of London

from
the same era which is excellent for showing railways and this identifies

the
station as a "goods stn" and it is located to the south of Commercial

Road.
Could somebody please provide more information ?
TIA

This was a goods depot known locally as "The Tilbury" which was
demolished in the 70's. I don't know when exactly but it was still
operating in 1972. For an anecdote concerning it see

Interesting, any idea where the exact location of 'the Tilbury' would be
located now?
