Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Intensive work along the waterfront in advance of large scale redevelopment allows the presentation of an outline history of this important economic area, which echoes London's own development. From 1st century AD the course of the Thames was being modified and contained by massive timber revetments the contemporary warehouses have not yet been found. The defensive wall was added in 4th century; and at New Fresh Wharf the Roman quay decayed and was partly dismantled in Saxon times. The Billingsgate area should provide more information on the Saxon port. From 12th to 16th century land was reclaimed piecemeal from the Thames, private enterprise contrasting with the Roman civic planning; but zoning of trade goods is evident and prosperity caused 14th and 15th century expansion eastwards. A final 19th century boom has been followed by 20th century closures, decay and demolitions. See also 79/6482. | ||||||||||||||
