A fine view of Canning Town Bridge. Opened in 1934 it was the first stage of the improved road links to the Royal Docks which culminated in the Silvertown Way as mentioned in the ealier post. Walked over, cycled and drove over this bridge daily from 1971 to 76. Lived in Poplar and served an apprenticeship in the Royal Docks. My father talks of my grandfather taking him to the opening ceromony of this bridge when a huge number of steam rollers were assembled and trundled over the bridge to prove its construction. Would like to see a phot of that. Maybe in Newham Councils archives perhaps.

Almost certain this is the Bridge House public house. As far as I can make out it still exists.

The General Offices of the Thames Iron Works. Shipbuilders and Engineers. The light coloured lines to the front of the buiding are the outlines of two graving docks as seen in an image from around the 1890's.

Iron Bridge Tavern public house. Later the Inner London Hotel. Built in 1852 it has in the last couple of years been demolished.
