This photo (from my archives) shows the ventilation shaft on the Limehouse side of the river, located in the King Edward VII Memorial Gardens. Until the second world war this had a staircase allowing pedestrians to access the tunnel.
Tobacco Dock, Wapping. The Tobacco Dock was built in 1811-13 by John Rennie and extended in 1820s to link the London Dock with the Eastern Dock. It has now been infilled. The Warehouse was designed Daniel Alexander and completed in 1811-14. Only the Northern ranges survive, converted into a shopping centre in 1984-9 by the Terry Farrell Partnership, though it is now vacant.
The station has been retiled in some rather bright enamel tiles. It's rather cheerier than the old grey marble.

This was taken in 1971 when I was 16, my first visit to the Albert Dock area and this one of three negs that are worthy of restoring. I would of shot this on my first 35mm camera which was a Ricoh Singlex using Tri-X film.
The condition of the negs is not good, they need a lot of post-production repair work on the scans.
The other two images are of the Albert Dock which I will upload in due course.

Garnet Street, Wapping with and added Alf by someone. He is still not forgotten by some. It was said the characters name came from this street.
There seemed to be joggers everywhere while I was there, not something people would have had the energy to do back in the 50s.
