Description
Available in:

The club played at Lodge Meadow until moving to Mill Field in 1952, at which point they gained the nickname the Millers. The new ground was built by supporters on land they had purchased, and opened with a local derby match against Grays Athletic. A 400-seat wooden stand was erected in 1957, with terracing installed on either side from earlier in the 1950s. A covered stand was installed at around the same time, having been bought for £100 from Grays, who had previously used it at their Recreation Ground. Floodlights were installed in 1967, with Grays again the visitors for the first match played under them. At the time of its closure, the ground had a capacity of 4,000, of which 400 was seated and covered.

During the 2010s the club bought the site of a former gravel pit from Thurrock Council using money raised from selling Mill Field to developers. The 2016–17 season being the club's last at Mill Field, as the moved to Parkside for the start of the 2017–18 season. The new ground featured two seated stands on either side of the pitch, one of which was built into the clubhouse, with the clubhouse roof overhang providing cover. Two covered terraces were erected behind each goal, either side of the goalmouth, whilst an artificial pitch was installed.
