Warehouses 1 and 2, West India Docks North Quay (now West India Quay), Wapping, London: upper level interior in Warehouse 2

NOTES: The original timber posts were replaced by cast iron stanchions in 1814. Built between 1799 and 1806, the West India Docks were the first of London's great enclosed docks. These two warehouses are all that remain of the row of nine warehouses designed by the Gwilts, later extended upwards in 1827 by Sir John Rennie.
