Crane Wharf
Watergate Building, the building to the right of centre of the picture is an early 18th. century former wharf side warehouse now used as multi-occupancy business units with motor repair business on the ground floor. In the early 1980s a combination of an unusually high tide, heavy rain and surface water caused flooding of the car park and the building up to a depth of up to 18 inches.

Crane Wharf
So called due to the crane which was available for loading and unloading vessels. Perhaps it should more properly be named New Crane Wharf as the street nearby was so named when a new crane was installed on the wharf. The two buildings on the right of the picture date from the 18th. century and near the pylon, was a Gas Works near where barges collecting tar would tie up well into the 20th. century. About 25 years ago, the river flooded the wharf due to an exceptionally high tide combining with flood water from upstream. One of the older buildings was flooded to a depth of half a metre or twenty inches in "old money" and the inspection pit of the garage workshop on the groundfloor filled with flood water. The Dee Bore is often seen at this point of the river during Spring tides.
