Scandrett Street, Wapping. Founded in 1695 and re-built in 1756-60, restored as two houses in 1994-5.

Gradient marker within the Tunnel. The ascent to Wapping Station at 1 in 36 is steep in railway terms, and steam engines would have to work hard. The approach to Rotherhithe is even steeper at 1 in 34.

The London Overground service between Highbury & Islington and New Cross/New Cross Gate was suspended over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend (24-26 May 2014) to adapt the line to take 5-car trains. The London Transport Museum took advantage of the closure to offer escorted walks through the tunnel between Rotherhithe and Wapping Stations.

 

The Tunnel was originally built as a pedestrian tunnel and opened in 1843; it was the only project on which Marc Isambard Brunel and his son, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, worked together. It was sold for railway use in 1869, the first trains running four years later.

 

The tunnel was extensively renovated during the 1990s, during which most of it was restored to its original appearance.

In 1995 artist and illustrator Nick Hardcastle was commissioned by London Underground to illustrate Wapping, both past and present, with the resulting large enamel panels being displayed on the station. This one illustrates a goods train disappearing into the Thames tunnel with a northbound passenger train emerging. The scene is set in the 1960s.

Wappen-Begründung für die Ortsgemeinde Mauel:

 

Der Ort ist vermutlich zunächst am heutigen Urmauel schon vor der Jahrtausendwende entstanden.Der Standort direkt an der Prüm war deutlich nasser und hochwassergefährdet.

Der Ortname leitet sich von alten Wortstämmen Mul oder Auwel ab, die beide auf Feuchtgebiet und auch ein hohes Alter hinweisen. Der silber-blaue Wellenschrägbalken soll die Prüm symbolisieren. Die Region wurde als Lehen der Abtei Prüm von Hamm geführt. Die Farben der Abtei waren Rot und Silber. 1345 wird das heutige Mauel erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Zur Gemeinde gehören heute Mauel und die Weiler Urmaul und Staudenhof.

Der Ort lebte noch vor 50 Jahren nur von der Land- und Forstwirtschaft.

Mit drei goldenen Ähren und einem Eichenzweig soll dies ausgedrückt werden.

Gegenüber vom Staudenhof steht nicht weit vom Prümufer entfernt mit der 280-jährigen Napoleonseiche ein wuchtiges Naturdenkmal auf Mauler Flur. Unter seinem Blätterdach soll schon Napoleon oder ein Teil seiner Truppe vor etwa 200 Jahren gelagert haben. Ein Eichenzweig ist als grüne Figur in das silberne untere Feld des Wappens gelegt. Das Blatt und zwei Eicheln, sollen zugleich den Ort und die beiden Weiler darstellen.

Aus forstwissenschaftlicher Sicht ist der Baum gerade erwachsen geworden.

Heißt es doch im Volksmund (wie bei der Linde): eine Eiche kommt 300 Jahre, steht 300 Jahre und geht 300 Jahre.

Wapping Underground Station is on the East London Line

Wapping is one of my favourite areas of London. Once a busy dock, when the docks closed much of the area became run-down. Today it is one of the richest parts of London, with the old wharfes now transformed into luxury flats, but unlike many areas of London, the transformation has taken place whilst retaining it's history. The old wharfes are now beautifully restored, and the narrow, winding cobbled streets give the area a lot of character.
