Real "I remember when this was all fields" vibe there! (Not actual fields ofc but vastly different to how it is now). Thanks for posting it!

That year I was taken on a field trip around the derelict Royal Docks walking through the post-industrial wasteland, empty spaces and over the remains of the elevated walkways over the docks. It was a very memorable trip and how I wish I'd had a camera back then.
Bahnhof Strasse
Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
In the early-ish 80's I used to go cycling around there on a Sunday. This was before Sunday trading laws changed, so London was fairly quiet and the docks were deserted, was really cool and when I go down there now the change is just unbelievable!

I can remember cycling through vast empty warehouses but like a fool only took a few photos. Mind you I did find a lovely old 'Smoking Prohibited' enamel sign that I took home with me (and still have).

This week the score draws are plentiful
Posted these on the Deptford & New Cross thread a few years ago but thought I might as well stick them here too.
I was a Goldsmiths student, living on Creek Road, in the early 90s. Took the photos of Deptford power station just before it got demolished and the view of the creek at Greenwich in 1994, prior to heading back to Devon. We used to walk down to the slipway next to the power station, which we called Deptford Beach, to see what we could find. Some mates found a message in a bottle one day. It had only come from the other side of Woolwich, but they wrote back to the girl who sent it with a slightly implausible tale about where they found it. No harm done, I guess. Better than finding out that it only went two miles upstream...

That's a nice pic. Was that taken with a proper kit of camera, or just a smartphone?

Amazing what good quality shots those things produce nowadays.

If you say so
I spent 10/15 years or so cycling alongside the Thames, between Vauxhall and where it joins the sea out at north Kent and I took a lot of photos. So I'll be dumping a few of them here. Here's the first.

Apparently it was January 2010. I quite enjoyed cycling in arctic weather in those days.Looks like it could be Iceland!

A Thames linked article about an interesting building in Rotherhithe...
'Leaning tower of Rotherhithe' sells for £1.5m
The house, four storeys high and 3.5m wide, is the only property on a street by the River Thames.
