Former Greenland Dock, Surrey Docks, one of the few remaining sections of the Surrey Docks complex.
Greenland Dock is the oldest of London's wet docks, opened in 1699 as the Howland Great Wet Dock, used mainly for re-fitting ships in the East India trade.
Later used by ships on the Greenland whaling trade, which gave it its later name. In the 1800s, timber became the main import at the Surrey Docks.
Closed in 1970, it is now used for leisure purposes.
Late 14c / early 15c font - the bowl panels appear to show seated under canopies, liturgically vested figures of priests, deacons, bishops and doctors of the church. Underneath are praying angels, evangelist symbols and leaf decoration.
On the stem under carved canopies are mainly female saints - St Catherine with her wheel and sword, St Apollonia with her pincers, and, curiously, 3 seated figures holding babies. Possibly BVM & Christ Child, St Anne holding the infant Virgin & St Elizabeth with the infant John the Baptist. The corners have the remains of crouching lions (?) sadly their heads have been hacked off.

The Limehouse Basin in Limehouse, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets provides a navigable link between the Regent's Canal and the River Thames, through the Limehouse Basin Lock. A basin in the north of Mile End, near Victoria Park connects with the Hertford Union Canal leading to the River Lee Navigation. The dock originally covered an area of about 15 acres (60,703 m2). The Basin lies between the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) line and historic Narrow Street. Directly to the east is a small park, Ropemaker's Fields.
The Basin, built by the Regent's Canal Company, was formerly known as Regent's Canal Dock and was used by seagoing vessels and lighters to offload cargoes to canal barges, for onward transport along the Regent's Canal. Although initially a commercial failure following its opening in 1820, by the mid 19th century the dock (and the canal) were an enormous commercial success for the importance in the supply of coal to the numerous gasworks and latterly electricity generating stations along the canal, and for domestic and commercial use. At one point it was the principal entrance from the Thames to the entire national canal network. Its use declined with the growth of the railways.
Spotted this docking on the Brooklyn Side of the East River. I can't be sure who owns this ship. What could it be like owning ones own fleet of ships?

This is a picture of a trailer park that was demolished last February. The site had been abandoned for a year and sat right on the Detroit River at the southeast corner of the city.
