Nineteenth century warehouse, with ghost sign, Bromley-by-Bow
Grade II listed building, known as Dowgate Wharf of P.B. Burgoyne, and later Aplin's Distillery (hence the lettering on the facade). A rare survivor.

Warehouse, Gillender Street (1)
An unusually refined design, almost like a muscular Georgian manor house. The facade is articulated by giant piers which meet at the top to form a continuous arcade, a theme which is continued in the low block on the left. The whole thing was built mid C19th for P.B. Burgoyne & Co. Ltd, although the fading writing on the front reads 'Aplins spirits and liqueur'. Grade II listed.
It is empty at present and clearly in need of a new owner.
Paul Smith, who lived in the area shortly after the war, told me that "from 1937 the building was used by the Emu Wine Company", for an unspecified period, and that "the words can be seen, although faint". Also, "the two buildings on the extreme left, after the metal gate, were known as the Emu cottages and on the brick one can still be seen "WIN" as in wine."

Floating towpath carried under the dual carriageway
The authorities have been very thoughtful in adding illumination to the path as it is carried under the roadway.

Blackwall Tunnel Northern Approach Road bridge over Limehouse Cut
We are looking northeast here. The scene is very much changed since World War II. Before the changes, there was just a small bridge here, called Four Mills Bridge, crossed by a road known as St. Leonards Street. Just beyond the bridge was a lock, Bromley Lock. The works, involving construction of a large dual-carriageway road, entailed removal of the lock and towpath, and for many years access to the Limehouse Cut towpath was not possible here. But in 2004, a new floating towpath (edged in green) was constructed - it won a design award.
