The Railways of London Docklands by Jonathan Willis Pdf

This book provides a comprehensive study of the planning and building of railways in London’s Docklands, reflecting on the past 180 years of railway development. It describes the creation of the enclosed working docks at the start of the 19th Century and the introduction of railways in the middle of the century. By the 1970’s the decline of the working docks led to a plethora of plans to regenerate the area, but with little agreement on what should be done. The setting up of the London Docklands Development Corporation by the former Secretary of State for the Environment Lord Heseltine was a significant landmark, expediting the Canary Wharf development. The book describes in detail the modern railway projects, created to support the subsequent growing employment and population of the area, including the Docklands Light Railway with its multiple extensions, the Jubilee Line extension and Crossrail/Elizabeth Line. The book will appeal to a wide audience. To railway enthusiasts who wish to learn more about the why and the how such projects are approved and built and to transport and planning professionals who wish to understand more about the ups and downs of the relationship between transport and development and the decision making processes. within changing political, economic and employment scenarios. The end result has provided Docklands with a comprehensive hierarchy of quality transport services, to match anyway in the world.

London's Docklands by Fiona Rule Pdf

Do you remember the docks? In its heyday, the Port of London was the biggest in the world. It was a sprawling network of quays, wharves, canals and basins, providing employment for over 100,000 people. From the dockworker to the prostitute, the Romans to the Republic of the Isle of Dogs, London's docklands have always been a key part of the city. But it wasn't to last. They might have recovered from the devastating bombing raids of the Second World War – but it was the advent of the container ships, too big to fit down the Thames, that would sound the final death knell. Over 150,000 men lost their jobs, whole industries disappeared, and the docks gradually turned to wasteland. In London's Docklands: A History of the Lost Quarter, best-selling historian Fiona Rule ensures that, though the docklands may be all but gone, they will not be forgotten.

Tales of London Docklands by Henry Bradford Pdf

Tales of London's Docklands is an anthology of true stories, drawn from Henry Bradford's personal experiences as a Registered Docker in the Port of London when traffic through the docks was at its peak. Life as a docker was not for the faint-hearted; men were killed and injured every day, and the work was physically extremely arduous. Despite this, there was a spirit of camaraderie, and close teamwork was essential in the ship and quay gangs. Now that the DOcklands regeneration is virtually completed and the landscape has been transforend, it is important that memories of day-to-day life in the past are preserved. Henry Bradford's vivid anecdotes bring this lost world to life. Tales of London's Docklands will appeal to anyone whose relatives worked as dockers, to social historians, and to anyone with an interest in the history of London's East End, Tilbury Docks and wharves along the banks to the River Thames.

Developing London's Docklands by Sue Brownill Pdf

London's Docklands has been described as the largest redevelopment area in Western Europe. This book tells the story of that redevelopment and by doing so examines a number of critical issues concerning the regeneration of urban areas. From the first dock closures in the early 70s, the area has been the subject of various and competing plans. Since 1981, the London Docklands Development Corporation with its market-led approach has been charged with regenerating the area. The ensuing developments and the conflict between local needs and commercial imperatives have ensured London's Docklands has never been far from the public eye. The development of Docklands is placed within the context of the changing nature of inner city and planning policy in the UK. The shifting balance between central and local government, the erosion of local democracy and the increasing emphasis on policies aimed at facilitating the role of private investment is illustrated by the various phases of the redevelopment of the area. The author's detailed account of the LDDC era focuses on the main features of market-led regeneration; the encouragement of private investment through planning, transport and land policies as well as substantial public investment; the record on housing and employment; the impact on the local community; the response of local organisations and councils and the alternatives proposed. As "Doing a Docklands" is becoming increasingly fashionable in other areas of the UK and abroad, this book provide a timely analysis of the Docklands experience and points to some essential lessons and questions. This book will be useful for undergraduate courses on inner-city policy and planning, and also forthose taking courses in urban studies, sociology, housing, urban geography and planning.

Dockland Life by Chris Ellmers,Alex Werner Pdf

With a workforce of over 100,000 men, women and children, and reaching out to all four corners of the earth, London's Docklands, formerly the Port of London, at one time formed the largest and most comprehensive system of docks the word has ever known. The Museum of Dockland, an independent branch of the Museum of Lodnon, is devoted to keeing its memory alive and has now produced this lavishly illustrated volume. DOCKLAND LIFE examines every aspect of the port: the working river and its various docks; where the ship repairs took place; the warehousing and construction; the quaysides and the dock trades. The text is comprehensive and definitive, but above all it is the stunning sequence of images, drawn from a library of over 25,000 photographs, which conveys the human drama of life and work in the port of the Empire. This new edition examines the redevelopment of the Docklands which includes the construction of the Millenium Dome.
