North Woolwich pleasure boat pier

Thanks to Mossy for reminding me that I'd been meaning to experiment with adding borders! ;)

This is opposite the North Woolwich Old Station Museum, which was once the terminus of a railway line and is now a small museum to it. It's about to enjoy a renaissance as a museum to all of London's suburban railways, and will include Britain's first main-line-powered electric preserved railway — also to be used for training purposes, which is kinda cool.

Aaaanyway, this thing is near the Woolwich Ferry, and when seen from the ferry looks like it might have been its predecessor. But in fact it's too small for cars, and was a foot access to pleasure boats which called here in the middle of the nineteenth century before the area became industrialised.
