The very office I am sitting in as I type this is built near the bottom of this photo in what was then the north dock. It is very different today with only about a fifth at most of the dock remaining. Th rest of the dock has been filled in over the last 20 years and built on, most recently by the cross rail development.	ResearchAddict	Wednesday 12th of March 2014 06:32:43 PM
Not so much a reply to the comment but an observstion of the image. Concidering the number of ships in the dock there is very little cargo being handled. When I checked the period 1921 the world in general was in the grip of a great depression. This image sums it up as almost all the ships appear laid up. Those tied up to buoys off the quays for certain. This is only a small section of the enclosed docks and the number of men (dockers) out off work must have been enormous. Apart from them it must have been a hard time in general.	Grollo	Wednesday 12th of March 2014 06:32:43 PM
