The two graving docks by the Thames west of Woolwich town centre are part of the early 19th century redevelopment of the Royal Dockyard. They are listed grade 2 (list entry number 1212422). Their historical significance is that they are probably on the site of the earliest English Royal Docks from the 1530s.
