Immediately behind the photographer is an access point to/from the Mudchute City Farm and Urban Park site. The base of this preserved redundant chimney is situated at the side of a service road on the edge of a new-build residential development on Undine Road, on the other side of this wall. 100 metres or so behind the chimney lies the Outer Millwall Dock. The fir tree given annually to the people of London by the city of Oslo as a token of gratitude for help received during WWII was, in the past, shipped to Millwall Docks. Its transportation was conducted free of charge by the Fred Olsen Line, a company with strong links to the Isle of Dogs. For example, Canary Wharf was named at this company’s request in the 1930s, and still later, they operated a cruise liner terminal in Millwall Docks.
