A swing bridge leads out from the other side of the Blackwall Basin towards the north section of the West India Docks. Beyond it the London skyline can be seen, rather dimmed by mist, the NatWest Tower (Tower 45) well above the rest. On the edge of the dock is the Wood Department, and the large shed behind it was at one time the Mahogany Shed. I think the ship visible at far left is in the old West India Export Dock.
