Wapping High Street, Wapping. Built in 1843-44 as Sun Wharf for the Abrdeen Steam Navigation Company. It was converted to flats in 1998-9.
Enormous bucket swing in which at least 5 teenagers were cavorting dangerously.
A unique and wonderful playground - "The idea behind this community project was to create a space where children can take controlled risks while they are playing".
This photograph was taken in 2013 whilst I was completing my walk along the "Thames Path National Trail". The river Thames is at the rear of the establishment.
This pub was bought by Sir Ian McKellen (the Shakesperian actor) whose most famous character must be that of Gandalf in the "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" trilogies. It's said that Gandalf's staff is on display in the bar.
The wharf buildings of Wapping High Street, which were largely abandoned after the Second World War, and were not refurbished until Wapping became part of the Docklands regeneration project -- along with the Isle of Dogs, Limehouse and Surrey Quays -- under Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s. Photo taken on May 22, 2012.

Description: One page asking members of SOGAT, AUEW, NUJ and NGA to boycott Murdoch papers. Leaflet reads 'My Dad wants to work but Mr Murdoch sacked him'.
Accession Number: SH.2009.225.9
Further Notes: SOGAT became an industrial union in 1783 when three London based craft societies came together and decided to take action to achieve a reduction of the working week from 78 hours. Five of the leaders were sent to prison for two years but victory was ultimately achieved. The union grew and amalgamated with many other print unions. By 1983 SOGAT was a combination of 39 unions.
Further Notes: In January 1986 after a long period of negotiation 6,000 trade unionists went on strike in support of members who worked at News International and the Times Group Newspapers. The company were seeking a binding agreement with print unions which incorporated flexible working, a non-strike agreement, new technology and the abolishment of the closed shop. As soon as the strike was announced News International issued dismissal notices to all those taking part in industrial action. The company replaced the workforce and transferred four of its titles (The Times, The Sunday Times, The Sun and the News of the World) to the Wapping Plant. This began the Wapping Dispute. Print Unions rallied and urged members to boycott the four papers involved and demonstrated at the plant. In 1987 the strike collapsed and the restrictive practices enforced by unions collapsed too.

Wapping Goods signal box located by the Up line at the mouth of Wapping Tunnel beneath Upper Frederick Street in Liverpool
Wapping Goods signal box was a London & North Western Railway Company type 4 design fitted with a 10 lever London & North Western Railway Company Tumbler frame which opened in February 1879 replacing an earlier signal box destroyed in an derailment. The signal box was renamed park Lane Goods and was destroyed in a German air raid just prior to Christmas 1940. It was replaced by a London Midland & Scottish Railway Company ARP type design signal box in the same location in 1941
