This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the bustling industrial waterfront of the River Thames at New Fresh Wharf in 1968. The image features a massive, weathered white warehouse and a large lattice-work dock crane, illustrating the scale of commercial activity in the Pool of London during the late sixties. Standing tall in the background is The Monument to the Great Fire of London, its golden urn finial glinting against the clear blue sky. To the right, the ornate Victorian architecture of the Billingsgate area is visible, topped by a decorative weather vane. The wharf itself is supported by a dense forest of concrete and timber pilings, rising out of the murky river water. This digital download is a superb record of London’s maritime and industrial landscape before its modern transformation, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of historic riverside wall art.
