Electric bridge that is no longer in use and is over the cut that led from Shadwell Basin to the eastern dock of London Dock - now filled in. It is surprising that the Scherzer bridges were electrically powered whilst situated in the midst of the London Hydraulic Power Co supply area. There is a more photographed example at the other end of Shadwell Basin.
