Victorian London - Thames - Docks - Royal Victoria Dock (1537 words) |
 | In the centre of the North Quay and fronting the open space are the dock offices, the greater part of the remaining space on this side being occupied by a couple of vast ranges of tobacco warehouses and by an immense extent of coal sidings. |
| The length of the old dock with its appurtenances is a mile, that of the new two miles, but this ample elbow-room in the way of length has led to the latter being constructed upon another and, as is considered, a much more economical system than the old. |
| These two docks are pierced in the western end of the Southern Quay, and between the coal-tips and the mast shears; the latter of which, capable of dealing with the heaviest spars, have a private siding of their own communicating with the general railway system. |
