Description: | HM Customs and Excise officers based in the London docks checked the weight, size and quality of goods entering the port. This timber gauge was used by officers to measure lengths of imported wood. It was made by the London firm Dring & Fage of Stamford Street, one of many whose business was largely dependent on the activity of the port, the 'warehouse of the world'. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work Power and Politics | Temporal: | 1926-1950 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
