From Wapping 13 Oct 1973: down the Thames from Shadwell basin lock
looking east, from the abandoned control cab of the bascule bridge at the entrance to the Shadwell basin. At the left is the air shaft for the Rotherhithe tunnel. This is the view down the Thames past the Regent's Canal entrance & St Anne's church, Limehouse, towards the entrances to the West india docks (still open till 1980) on the Isle of Dogs & what would now feature the Canary Wharf / Canada Square complex. To the right on the south side of the river are the warehouses on Rotherhithe Street, behind which was Lavender dock (part of the Surrey commercial docks).
