Walking along North Bank Thames Path, amazing Sculpture.

Part of the old dock architecture on Liverpool's waterfront with very little of the old city architecture in view through it these days.

Windrush Line, Overground

A southbound London Overground class 378 unit comes out of a tunnel into an essentially white scene at Wapping station on the East London Line.

 

As well as the white wall on the right, there is a fair sprinkling of white grit salt on the narrow platform. This is applied because although the stretch of the line between Surrey Quays and Whitechapel is below ground (and of course the River Thames), a small part of the northen end of the platform is exposed to the weather. This shot was taken on the last day of a week long cold snap across the British Isles.

I think this was Wapping - not sure when - but I assume 3 June 1989 when I took two other pictures of the same bus in the same location

RD11668. Wapping Station in East London, opened in 1869 by the East London Railway. It is situated at the north end of the Thames Tunnel which was build by Marc Brunel and his son Isambard during 1825 to 1843 although there was a seven year break in construction while further funds were raised.

 

Although planned as a road tunnel, there were insufficient funds to build the access ramps so it remained a foot tunnel with access by spiral staircases. The access to Wapping Station is via the north access shaft and although there are still stairs leading down to the platforms, there is also a lift.

 

It was taken over by the East London Railway in 1865 and opened as a railway tunnel in 1869, thus providing a rail link between north and south London. In 1933 the Thames Tunnel became part of the London Transport underground system although main line freight trains still used it until 1962; it now forms part of the London Overground network and pictures on the walls depict the station and the tunnel in earlier times.

 

This one shows it in the days when it was part of London Transport's Metropolitan Line with a train of 'F' Stock approaching on the northbound line while a freight train disappears towards the south.

You can see a view towards Wapping Wharf, M Shed and some cranes.

 

Wapping Wharf has a rich history dating back to the 18th century when it became the site of shipyards and a dry dock. When Bristol's merchants developed Queen Square around 1700, its shipyards were displaced to Wapping Wharf, marking the start of the area's long association with ship building.

Since Wapping Wharf opened in 2016, we've been committed to being a space for independent businesses to grow and thrive.

M Shed is a museum in Bristol, England, located on Prince's Wharf beside the Floating Harbour in a dockside transit shed formerly occupied by Bristol Industrial Museum. The museum's name is derived from the way that the port identified each of its sheds. M Shed is home to displays of 3,000 artefacts and stories, showing Bristol's role in the slave trade and items on transport, people, and the arts. Admission is free. The museum opened in June 2011, with exhibits exploring life and work in the city. In its first year, 700,000 people visited the new museum.

Normally moored in front of the museum is a collection of historic vessels, which include a 1934 fireboat (the Fire-float Pyronaut), and two tugboats (Mayflower, the world's oldest surviving steam tug, and John King, a 1935 diesel tug) and the replica caravel The Matthew, the ship that crossed the Atlantic with John Cabot in 1497.

On the quayside outside the museum are four electrically powered cargo cranes built in 1951 by Stothert & Pitt. Three of these cranes are operational and operate some weekends. A short distance to the west on Wapping Wharf is a much older crane, the sole surviving operational example of a Fairbairn steam crane. Built in 1878, also by Stothert & Pitt, it was in regular use until 1973, loading and unloading ships and railway wagons with loads up to 35 tons. It has been restored and is in working order, operating on some bank holidays and during the Bristol Harbour Festival. (From Wikipedia)
