TQ3879 : Isle of Dogs: West India Docks drawbridge

Poplar, Tower Hamlets, Great Britain

Isle of Dogs: West India Docks drawbridge
Isle of Dogs: West India Docks drawbridge
Known to all as the blue bridge the drawbridge enables traffic on the A1206 Preston's Road to pass over the channel leading to the South Dock of the West India Docks from the Blackwall Reach of the River Thames. The drawbridge was built between 1967 and 1969 and some indication of its size can be gained by the dwarfing of the double-decker bus beneath it.
