A historic view from roughly the same position as Pete Chapman's 2005 shot. On the left is the 1930s Silvertown Bypass, on the right an abandoned railway. Straight ahead Tate & Lyle dominates the riverfront; on the extreme right the top of the ship unloading gear can be seen. See also TQ4279 : North Woolwich Riverfront, 1973 for 1973 riverfront view.

Silvertown: The former Tate Institute

Sir Henry Tate (1819-1899) was a philanthropic Victorian sugar magnate. Besides donating his art collection to establish the Tate Gallery TQ3078 : Tate Britain, Millbank, London, in 1887 he ordered the construction of this sadly neglected little building opposite his Silvertown sugar works for the benefit of his workers. The Institute closed in 1933 and the building was sold to be used as the local library until 1961. It can be found at the junction of Wythes Road with Albert Road. The Tate sugar business merged with the Lyle organization to form Tate & Lyle in 1921.

Woolwich market

Taken around 1974 from just outside the Woolwich Arsenal gates, the old tram tracks are still visible in the cobble stones running left to right between the two cars and just in front of the skirt stands. A second line crosses the foreground going 'through' the Cortina wing mirror with the other rail passing just in front of the litter.

For most of the 20th century there were three busy hospitals on Shooters Hill, one of which was the Brook. Now there's very little of it left. The former water tower has been innovatively converted into a modern dwelling, with superb views from the top over south east London

Woolwich Ferry

The Woolwich Ferry is a service across the River Thames linking Woolwich in the London Borough of Greenwich with North Woolwich in the London Borough of Newham. It also links two ends of the inner London orbital routes: the North Circular and the South Circular. The ferries carry lorries and other road traffic across the river, plus large numbers of foot passengers (licensed capacity: 500 passengers and 200 tonnes of vehicles). At peak periods, two ferries criss-cross the river at approximately 10 minute intervals.
