TitleDrainage plan of the Finland Wharf area
Date(s)c. 1919-c. 1920
DescriptionUntitled black and white drainage plan (with some red pencil additions) which appears to be of the area where Finland Wharf was located. The plan shows the entrance from Church Row to various wharves, including Hampshire Wharf and Liver Wharf, leading to the towpath along Limehouse Cut.

The date of the plan is unconfirmed, however, as Church Row dates from 1875 and was renamed Newell Street in 1938 and Liver Wharf can be found in trade directories for 1919-1920 (but not in earlier editions e.g. 1911 and later editions e.g. 1923) it seems likely that the plan dates from sometime around the late 1910s to the early 1920s.
