Greenwich Wharves 1950

LIST OF WHARVES IN THE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH OF GREENWICH

This document is undated but from internal evidence it is from after the nationalisation of gas and before the arrival of the Cutty Sark in Greenwich - ie 1949-1951

The original layout is in 6 columns - and Blogger is very unforgiving about any sort of layout.  The wharves are listed on the left hand side and the blue text describes installations or conditions in the river at that point.  (Please don't say I should have done it as a PDF which Blogger hates even more)

It is obviously in order from west to east  - and spot the onlyttwo survivors of all these companies - and, note, one has just put in a planning application to continue working here - the other renewed some few years ago.  The Yacht Club is of course still there but on a different site.
