Charles Dickens set portions of his novel Oliver Twist in this area, at a time when it was an area of notorious poverty known as Jacob's Island. He set Bill Sikes's den in buildings adjacent to St Saviour's Dock. It is here that Sikes falls from a roof and dies in the mud, probably of St Saviour's Dock. The view from the other end can be seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6000597
