Purdeys Industrial Estate, Rochford, SS4 1LB

Purdeys Industrial Estate lies in Rochford, within the SS4 postal district of Essex, England. The area is situated near the River Roach, a river that flows entirely through Essex. The River Roach originates in the Rayleigh Hills to the west and flows east, passing through the Rochford Basin, a circular feature that may have been caused by an asteroid impact in the Late Oligocene or Early Miocene periods. To the east of Rochford the river becomes tidal and is governed by the Crouch Harbour Authority, eventually joining the River Crouch between Wallasea Island and Foulness Island. The estate’s proximity to this waterway places it within the natural setting of the River Roach and its surrounding basin.
