A historic view from roughly the same position as Pete Chapman's 2005 shot. On the left is the 1930s Silvertown Bypass, on the right an abandoned railway. Straight ahead Tate & Lyle dominates the riverfront; on the extreme right the top of the ship unloading gear can be seen. See also Image for 1973 riverfront view.
