Re-securing the mooring lines of lighters at Deadman’s Dock, Limehouse Reach in Deptford on 29 April 1934. The photographer A.G. Linney recorded that the previous night had been foggy and a steamer had hit the lighters, causing them to break adrift. In the background is Snowdons Wharf at Millwall on the Isle of Dogs.

Alpha Grove ran right through to the West India Dock fence dock - its cranes can be seen at the end of the road. When built in the 1800s, Alpha Road followed a section of the old island path, Dolphin Lane. The road running across the view in the photo is Byng Street.

The new name was given as it had access to the River Thames (and because there were no other Watergate Streets). Many large houses were built in the street during the 17th and 18th centuries and lived in by those connected to the maritime trade. By the twentieth century the street had became run down and post-war, new housing was built. TUM image id: 1570963350 Licence:
