Since we're now at the bit in Dracula where Renfield has made his way to Purfleet chapel (a real-life place), I thought I'd show you folks what it looks like today. Dracula's house, Carfax, is gone, but the chapel is still (barely) standing:
There is currently a proposal going through planning permission to tear the place down and build a housing estate there, but it seems to be stuck in development hell at the moment, partly due to the archaeogical interest of the site.
And a video I managed to get from inside the building:
On Thursday, I took the train to Purfleet and walked along the Thames past Rainham Marshes to Rainhaim. The wetlands feature in my latest fic, A Thing With Peas. The third and final chapter is in the works.
Hellsing Manor Location

Purfleet
Dracula is now out in the countryside, but within a relatively short train ride of London. The city was much smaller then; a lot of the suburbs had yet to be built, although the villages that formed their nucleus were definitely there. Purfleet has a nice museum, BTW, with a section dedicated to the vampire.
