Butlers Wharf 1980

Grade 2 listed in 1982, this is the river facing side of the former warehouse and wharfage prior to being converted to expensive luxury accomodation. Built 1873 it was considered the latest in industrial design, featuring fireproof floors, brick-vaulted basements and wrought iron roof trusses. During the 1970's it became home to workshops and artists studios before it was converted into loft apartments and restaurants. This image taken with a Fujica ST605N and the slide scanned on Epson Perfection scanner in 2020.
