Six other blocks complete this estate that was built 1930/1 on ground raised 16'-0" to avoid flooding. It is said to be named after a wood of oak trees that stood on the site, many many years ago, where locals let their pigs roam. On this site in 1894 stood Silver Street. The estate was refurbished in 1987.
By Nelson's Dockyard on the south bank of the Thames in Limehouse Reach is a headland known as 'Cuckold's Point' TQ365803. According to BREWER (1999 edition) it got that name because "King John successfully courted a labourer's wife there". Surely worth a piccy then!
