This 1984 photograph shows The Dickens Inn at St Katharine Docks, the striking timber-clad dockside building with its galleries lined with flower boxes overlooking the basin. In the foreground is the boat Portwey of Falmouth, her name clearly visible on the stern, while on the right a small blue boat is displayed on the quay beside the lock wall. The old hoist arm fixed to the inn’s exterior is another reminder of the building’s warehouse origins, even though by this time the docks had already been reshaped into a marina and leisure destination. Rebuilt at St Katharine Docks in the 1970s, The Dickens Inn quickly became one of the best-known features of the redeveloped basin, and this image is a strong record of the area in its early marina years, when preserved craft, reused dock buildings and new visitor-focused businesses all sat side by side.
