The New Blackwall Entrance was at one time the first entrance into the West India Docks complex for ships coming upstream along the River Thames. It was once a single lock but later a double lock, with the uppermost lock gate just this side of where the footbridge is now. Today the entrance is sealed and non-navigable. This is the view looking into Blackwall Basin, once the West India Dock Basin, with Canary Wharf beyond.
