Description: | In 1926 work began to improve Tilbury Docks. This involved the construction of a new entrance lock to the west of the main dock, where John H Avery took this photo. The main dock was also extended and a new dry dock constructed alongside the existing ones.
The great volume of shipping in the Port of London supported an extensive ship-repair industry. Dry docks were in demand. The industry was dominated by three firms including R H Green & Silley Weir and the London Graving Dock Company. Premises for both these firms were in the dry docks at Tilbury. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | �� Museum in Docklands/PLA Collection | Subjects: | work Transport | Temporal: | 1928-04-05 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
