Beaumont Quay.
When the original London bridge was demolished in 1831, flagstones from the bridge were used to build this quay, which was completed in the following year. It was constructed by the governors of Guy's hospital, who owned land on the parish. A 1km canal was cut in Landermere creek to enable vessels to reach the head of the creak, where the quay was located. The quay was used mainly to send agricultural produce from Essex into London. It ceased to be used in the mid- 1920s.
