Scherzer rolling bridge, Garnet Street, Wapping
Electric bridge that is no longer in use and is over the cut that led from Shadwell Basin to the eastern dock of London Dock - now filled in. It is surprising that the Scherzer bridges were electrically powered whilst situated in the midst of the London Hydraulic Power Co supply area. There is a more photographed example at the other end of Shadwell Basin.

Former rolling bridge, Garnet Street, Shadwell
It now spans a finger of ornamental channel extending from Shadwell Basin. This appears to be the same bridge as in Chris Allen's Image A similar retained bridge spans the wide channel formerly between the basin and the Thames: Image

Shadwell Basin, East London
This is taken from the bridge spanning the 'New' entrance to the basin, from the Thames, (the 'Old' entrance has been filled in for some years). Until recently, water passage was available from here, through the East and Western London Docks and out into the Thames again through Hermitage Basin, not far from the Tower. But this water route is not available now as the London Docks have been filled in. Attractive modern housing has recently been built around the basin and these are some of the most expensive properties in the capital.

Disused bascule bridge, Wapping, East London
This bridge carried the traffic using Garnet Street over the link between Shadwell Basin and the inner docks. It was periodically raised on its Southern end to allow passing boats. This operation took some fifteen minutes and was often exploited by local schoolchildren. The cry of "Sorry Sir, Caught the Bridger" was a reliable excuse to escape punishment for late arrival. This picture was taken in the late seventies, after the closure of the docks but prior to development of the area. It can be seen that all the windows of the controller's cabin have been smashed by vandals. The whole cabin has now been removed.
