Most of East India Dock has been infilled apart from a basin that is a nature reserve. This was a steam powered hydraulic pumping station built in 1857 for the East India Dock Company and extended in 1877 with new engines. Electrified in 1925 and now adaptively reused. This building is on Naval Row and the former tall dock wall is out of shot to the left.
