TQ3879 : Rubble near the O2 (1)

near to Blackwall Tunnel, Greenwich, Great Britain

Rubble near the O2 (1)

This particular site just to the south-west of the O2 had already been derelict for several years before I took this photo in 2009. The rubble presumably came from the demolition of whatever building had stood here. At one time the site had been the site of Forbes & Abbott's ammonia works (see shared description entry).
