Alfred Salter footbridge, Russia Dock Woodlands
This bridge leads from the Stave Hill/Redriff Road footpath (Waterman's Walk) through the woodland of Russia Dock Woodlands.
It passes over a small woodland stream, all that remains of Russia Dock. Which was filled in to create the woodland area.
The bridge is named after a British medical practitioner and Labour Party politician of the early 1940's . See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Salter for more details on the man and his work.

Bridge next to the old dockside at Russia Dock Woodland
Russia Dock was part of the Surrey Commercial Docks and was originally used for the importing of timber from Norway, Russia and Sweden. The soft wood was mostly used for paper for prints and for furniture. Following the closure of the Surrey Commercial Docks in the 1970s, Russia Dock was in filled in 1980, apart from a thin 'stream', and planted as a woodland in the same year. A series of water channels and ponds provided habitats for kingfishers and herons. It still contains surviving dock features including the retaining wall, capstones, depth gauges, bollards, mooring chains and tracks. The bridges, one of which is seen here, have been added.

Bus stop on Redriff Road, Rotherhithe
The name of the road apparently represents a (former) local pronunciation of the place-name (Roth'riff -> Redriff?)
The bus stop in the foreground is served by routes 381 and C10.

Rotherhithe: Former Russia Dock
This is the stone quayside on the eastern side of the former Russia Dock. Some idea of the size of the original dock can gleaned from the fact that this quayside continues in a straight line from here for nearly 700 metres. The dock was to the left but has since been filled in, landscaped and vegetated as the Russia Dock Woodland.
