3/5 West India Quay Impounding Station

A row of tools from inside the pump house used to top up the docks on the Isle of Dogs in E London. Some of these look as if they date back to the early days of the place. I suspext there are few metric nuts or bolts around. @canalrivertrust.

Vintage tool rack mounted on a pale blue workshop wall, displaying an array of weathered wrenches and spanners hanging from hooks. The rack bears the inscription 'Worthington-Simpson & Co Engineers, London & Newark.' Various sized open-end wrenches and ring spanners hang in a row, showing patina and rust from years of use. A yellow and green striped electrical cable hangs alongside the tools, and a metal shelf bracket is visible at the bottom right.

2/5 West India Quay Impounding Station

Details of a crane/hoist inside the pump house used to top up the docks on the Isle of Dogs in E London. The facility dates from the 1920s but nearly everything will have been updated at some stage I suspect. @canalrivertrust.

Angled close-up looking up at the underside of an overhead crane or gantry system. The structure features bold yellow-painted steel beams and cross-braces with rivets, a pair of large dark toothed spur gears mounted on a shaft, and multiple heavy-duty steel chains hanging downward from a pulley assembly. Teal/dark green painted rails are visible in the background, with diffused natural light coming through behind the structure.

1/5 West India Quay Impounding Station

The docks on the Isle of Dogs in E London are all connected and all lose water. These pumps top them up when needed. You can visit on occasional open days run by the Canal & River Trust @canalrivertrust.

Industrial heritage interior showing a historic pump house or water treatment facility with symmetrical rows of large turquoise-colored pumping equipment and cylindrical turbines. The spacious hall features exposed steel truss roof structure, arched multi-paned windows along weathered yellow-ochre walls, and an elevated catwalk system. Orange-red flooring runs between the vintage machinery. Natural light filters through the industrial windows, illuminating the preserved early 20th-century mechanical infrastructure.
