Blackwall: Poplar Dock Accumulator Tower (1 of 2)
A hydraulic accumulator tower is a pressure storage reservoir in which a non-compressible hydraulic fluid is held under pressure that is applied by an external source. The external source can be a spring, a raised weight, or a compressed gas. An accumulator enables a hydraulic system to cope with extremes of demand using a less powerful pump, to respond more quickly to a temporary demand, and to smooth out pulsations.
This one was built out of stock brick in the 1870s, and is now a Grade II Listed structure.
Preston's Road is in the background.

Blackwall: Bridge House, 24 - 26 Preston's Road
Bridge House was designed by the engineer John Rennie and was completed in 1819 as a home for the Superintendent of the West India Dock Company. It was originally symmetrical, with bow windows on both the east and west sides, but an extension was later built on the north side. This is the south side. After surviving the wartime bombing it became a police training college in the 1950s and was subsequently occupied by the London Federation of Boys' Clubs. It is a Grade II Listed Building. Note the interesting chimney arrangement.
