Eastern dock, former Woolwich dockyard
Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 8 Jul 2006
One of the two surviving docks of the former Royal Dockyard at Woolwich. The earliest dock on this site was built in 1512, but it has been rebuilt at least thrice in 1635, 1720 and in the early 19th century. Now listed grade 2 (list entry number 1212422). NB I had originally and incorrectly described this as the former mast pond, which in fact lay further east.
