ISBN.978-1-84784-981-6 We have published three versions of this map showing how the area changed across the years. The map covers the area around and to the south of the Royal Victoria Dock including the many wharves of Silvertown. Just the waterfront of the south shore of the Thames is shown, including Angerstein's Wharf. The attractive 1867 maps shows the area at an early stage, with the Victoria Dock quite recently opened (in 1855), the graving dock, also Silvertown works of India Rubber Gutta Percha co, and St Mark's church. The 1893 and 1914 map shows much more development. These include Odam's Wharf, Clyde Wharf, Hall's Wharf, Plaistow Wharf, Manhattan Wharf, Prince Regent's Wharf, and Tay Wharf. Also various works or factories, including the sugar refineries of Henry Tate and Abram Lyle, whose firms merged in 1921. At Crescent Wharf is the chemical works of Brunner Mond, later an explosives works which exploded in 1917. Other features include North Woolwich Road and many warehouses, railway sidings, and a few cramped streets of terraces.
