yen_powell Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Just before I found the entrance to hell in the middle of Tredegar Road I had 30 minutes to kill before meeting an 'Anthony', so I popped on to the Isle of Dogs, parked my bike by the old slip way of the Great Eastern and had a cup of coffee from my flask. As you can see, there is the preserved bit inside the river wall and the rapidly wearing away bit still in the Thames. A lot of the timber was bought by Mr Brunel on the cheap, it came from scrapped naval ships of the line that fought at Trafalgar. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
