Ex Midland Railway Company pumping station and accumulator tower built 1881 to power equipment in the coal handling depot in Blackwall Yard. This was alongside the London & Blackwall Railway Poplar (1st) Station. It is now a wine warehouse and has been thoroughly gutted. You also wouldn't know there had been a railway and station alongside.
