A ship in the King George V dock, seen from
the drawbridge on Woolwich Manorway. It could be fun travelling on a 101
bus from North Woolwich to East Ham when these bridges (this one and the
one a little further on for the Royal Albert dock) were opening and closing.
Especially if the bus caught both bridges.

A ship (Cathay) in King George V dock towards
the end of their days. The docks were run down for some time before they
finally closed.

Another view of King George V dock. The
warehouses have now been cleared between this and the Royal Albert dock,
seen behind. This is now the runway for London City Airport (LCY).
