Looking south at the entrance to the Thames Tunnel; the platforms are narrow here due to the wider track spacing to go through the twin bores.
Difficult to believe that this lovely little deserted beach is only one and a half miles from Tower Bridge! Located beside the River Thames at Wapping, just behind New Crane Wharf,
Wapping Road First school, Bradford was built in 1877. Like many Victorians schools, it had high ceilings, wooden panelling and fireplaces in each classroom for heating.
It's importance as a building lies in the fact it was the first school in England, along with neighbouring Green Lane (in Manningham) to have swimming pool.Today, the original pool tiles remainn underneath the rubbish and stagnant water.
The school would have eduacated some of the poorest children in Bradford. Children fainting through hunger was a common occurance in the early days of the school, and it was only with the intervention and continuing support of Margeret and Rachel Macmillan, educational campaigners in the late 1800's that saw improvements in cleanliness, nutition and clothing.
Wapping Dock is a dock on the River Mersey, England and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is situated in the southern dock system, connected to Salthouse Dock to the north, Queens Dock to the south. Kings Dock was originally located to the west, but has since been filled in.
The dock was opened in 1852. It was named after the road it runs alongside and which also gave its name to the Wapping Tunnel.
The large brick warehouse built in 1856 along the eastern side of the dock was designed by Jesse Hartley. The building is of a similar architectural style to the warehouses surrounding the nearby Albert Dock. When originally built, it was 232 metres long and consisting of five separate sections. Bombed in the May Blitz of 1941, the badly damaged southernmost section was not rebuilt, with only the supporting cast iron columns remaining in situ. The remainder of the building continued in commercial use, even after the dock closed in 1972. The warehouse was restored and converted into residential apartments in 1988 and is Grade II* listed.

Since the pub on this site closed, it appears it's been used for wine shops. One had a bar just before this in 2011, and then this shop opened in 2012, also incorporating a bar so a (partial) return to its former use. Closed again in 2018 to become a gym. (Close-up of detail, and older photo of it as James Wallace Wine from 2010.)
Address: 69 Garnet Street (formerly New Gravel Lane).
Former Name(s): The Wapping Vineyard; James Wallace Wine [shop]; Threshers [shop]; The Three Suns.
Owner: Truman Hanbury Buxton (former).
