Description: | Wapping was a lively, if somewhat anarchic, area of seamen and merchants in the 17th and 18th centuries. During the 19th century massive warehouses and commercial buildings like those illustrated were erected, while the building of the docks made the region a virtual island. The are became largely derelict in the 20th century but is now recovering. | Subjects: | Storey Warehouse Bay Fascia Quoin Street Scene Trade And Commerce Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Furbank, L | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
