Wapping Rose Gardens
Image: © Robin Stott Taken: 13 Oct 2018
A pleasant and peaceful green space on a sunny Saturday afternoon in October, with little disturbance from Wapping High Street and its police station, right. There are a few roses. In the postwar period this was Waterside Gardens; it has been remodelled since. Before the war this was densely occupied by a cooperage (barrel-maker), dwellings and a school. Partially seen on the left, a late 19th-century tenement called Tower Buildings. There is another surviving example in Brewhouse Lane. The view is from near the Green Bank entrance.
