More about this scene
The port of London held the absolute key to Britain's stupendous 19th-century industrial wealth. From 1799 onwards the docks east of the Tower of London were dug, becoming one of the industrial wonders of the world and a tourist attraction! Here we see the docks near the end of their life; closures started soon after, with the last docks closing in 1981.
