Millwall Docks
The Millwall Dock was constructed by John Aird & Co. to a design by Sir John Fowler and opened in 1868.
The dock is L-shaped, with an 'Outer Dock' running east-west, and an 'Inner Dock' running north from the eastern end. It originally contained around 36 acres (14 hectares) of water and had a 200 acre (81 hectare) estate. The western end of the Outer Dock was originally connected to the Thames at Millwall by an 80 ft (24 m) wide channel. The docks closed in the 1980s and the area has been redeveloped.
