Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Pre-Construct Archaeology Limited was commissioned to undertake a programme of building recording focused upon the Computer Centre at the former Bata Factory, East Tilbury, Essex prior to its demolition. The Bata factory at East Tilbury acted as both producer and distributor of the Bata products, primarily in the manufacture of rubber and leather footwear. The first factory buildings, were constructed in January 1933. In 1934, a leather factory (Trafalgar house) was built and between 1936 and 1938, a second leather and rubber factory (buildings 24 and 34) as well as a garage and social facilities. Although WWII slowed development, the site continued to expand with the addition of a hosiery factory in 1956, a boiler house, in 1958, plastics factory (altered 1966-67), in 1958, a fire station and a warehouse was added in 1960. The Computer Centre Building was built c.1967 or not long after, and certainly by 1977 as it first appears on the Ordnance Survey map edition of that date. It is a simple building constructed around a steel portal frame and adopts an appearance that is broadly sympathetic with the Modern Movement styling of the main factory buildings.
