EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dated 1906, showcases a bird's-eye view of Map, Millwall Docks (Harrow Lane) and Poplar in East London during the Edwardian era. The intricate network of docks and waterways is a testament to the bustling maritime activity that once thrived in this part of the city. The West India Docks, located at the center of the image, were a major hub for importing and exporting goods from the British colonies. The Basin, with its large, enclosed body of water, is visible at the top left corner of the print. The Thames River, a vital artery for transportation, winds its way through the scene, connecting the docks to the heart of London. The railway lines and links, crisscrossing the landscape, played a crucial role in the efficient movement of goods between the docks and the rest of the country. The Blackwall Tunnel, a railway tunnel under the River Thames, is visible at the bottom right corner of the print. Coal depots and wharfs, such as Brunswick Wharf and Millwall Docks, can be seen along the water's edge. The Map and Harrow Lane Docks, located towards the bottom left of the print, were used primarily for the handling of general cargo. The intricate details of this photograph provide a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the transportation infrastructure that once connected London to the world during the early 20th century.
