On 27th September 1997, USA ‘Yankee’ 0-6-0 tank 30075 working on Wapping Wharf during its visit from the Swanage Railway to the Bristol Harbour Railway. Although this type of locomotive was purchased by the Southern Railway and used at Southampton Docks, this example was built in Croatia in 1960, as a Class ‘S100’, but based on the 'USA' design. It was purchased in 1990, moved from Slovenia to the UK and received an extensive overhaul at the Swanage Railway. A major steam pipe failure in 1998 saw it withdrawn from service. Following time at the East Somerset Railway, and the Great Central Railway (Nottingham), it has now found a more permanent home with the North Dorset Railway Trust at Shillingstone Station, although it is proposed that it will be placed on short-term loan to various railways around the country.

Two London Overground services, pass at Wapping on the former East London Line.
Wapping station opened in 1869, and was built using the 'cut and cover' method, and is the deepest such station in London (as distinct from 'tube' station).

An up-to-date electric bus rattles over the granite setts in Wapping High St. I think this is now the only place in London where you can 'enjoy' this experience.

Another shot from the London Flickr Photowalk around Shadwell and Wapping back in February.
There are many former warehouses in the area that are now converted into 'luxury apartments' but luckily there are still many fragments, such as this door, that give a flavour of the area's former character.

From Wikipedia, "The area's strong maritime associations changed radically in the 19th century when the London Docks were built to the north and west of the High Street. Wapping's population plummeted by nearly 60% during that century, with many houses destroyed by the construction of the docks and giant warehouses along the riverfront. Squeezed between the high walls of the docks and warehouses, the riverside area became isolated from the rest of London, although some relief was provided by Brunel's Thames Tunnel to Rotherhithe. The opening of Wapping tube station on the East London Line in 1869 provided a direct rail link to the rest of London.
Wapping was devastated by German bombing in the Second World War and by the post-war closure of the docks. It remained a run-down and derelict area into the 1980s, when the area was transferred to the management of the London Docklands Development Corporation, a government quango with the task of redeveloping the Docklands. The London Docks were largely filled in and redeveloped with a variety of commercial, light industrial and residential properties."

As my photographic opportunities are currently extremely limited I have raided my archives for something to post. This was taken along Wapping High Street on a sunny Sunday afternoon walk from The Prospect of Whitby to St Katherine's Dock Marina. Scanned from Kodachrome.

We went to an exhibition at the Wapping Project - essentially the disused Wapping Hydraulic Power Station, repurposed into a gallery, bar and restaurant.
A very interesting place.

We took a leisurely westerly walk back from Tobacco Dock along the waterway. It was very peaceful considering we are so close to the City. Wapping, London.
