A view of the riverside of the converted wharves. A solitary crane reminds us of the once busy scenes here where tea, coffee and spices were amongst the goods unloaded for a rapidly growing London. Congestion on the river, larger ships and finally containerisation all played a role in moving the traffic downstream to Tilbury and beyond.
