Abstract: |
In May 2015 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording of the Dock Walls and Canal and River Trust Building, Wood Wharf, West India Dock, London Borough of Tower Hamlets (NGR TQ 38036 80093). The work was commissioned by Montagu Evans LLP on behalf of CWG (Wood Wharf Two) Limited in advance of the redevelopment of the Wood Wharf, including the demolition of the Canal and River Trust Building and sections of the Dock Walls. The site is located on the Isle of Dogs to the south of Blackwall Basin and to the west of Preston's Road. On its southern side it is bound by South Dock and its entrance lock and to the west by the East Quay of the Export Dock and the Middle Cut between the Export Dock and the South Dock, beyond which lies Canary Wharf and West India Docks. It is currently used as a business park and contains modern warehouse and office buildings; the south side of Blackwall Basin is understood to lie derelict. The structures surveyed form a part of an evolved historic landscape with major significance to the development of London as a major centre of world trade, invariably tied to British dominance and trade in the West Indies, and as a world power. |
