Essex Wharf, Durward Street, 1988
The viewpoint is just about where the body of Jack the Ripper victim Mary Ann Nichols was found 100 years before the photograph. The street was then called Buck's Row. The "Wharf" name did not indicate a nearby navigation, but possibly the nearby railway yards.

Diagram of the lifts, Whitechapel station
This prompts as many questions as it answers. If you're already familiar with the station it could make sense. Note the Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) at the deepest level. The section between Abbey Wood and Paddington had not long been open (mid-May 2022).
