West India Docks 1894

Detailed map of West India Docks; London sheet 79. Introduction by Alan Godfrey. Stretches from Poplar Docks southward to the north part of Cubitt Town, and including major parts of the two West India Docks, the South Dock and Millwall Inner Dock. Part of Millwall Outer Dock is at the extreme foot of the map. Blackwall with its shipbuilding yards is at the top of the map. Across the Thames are Greenwich Marshes, growing more developed over the years and today, of course, famous for the Dome. The 1894 map shows the area more developed. The Timber Dock on the earlier map is now the South Dock and the railway extends south through Isle of Dogs, the Millwall Extension, with Millwall Junction, South Dock, Millwall Dock stations and many sidings and depots. On Greenwich Marshes there is more development, now with Ordnance Wharf, gas works etc. Street directory extracts on reverse, plus a railway timetable for the Fenchurch St to Blackwall and North Greenwich railway.

Reduced from the original Ordnance Survey 1:2,500 map to a scale of approximately 1:4,340 (or about 15" to the mile). Published by Alan Godfrey Maps, Leadgate, Consett
