Deptford Wharf

Deptford Wharf in London, United Kingdom, is on the Thames Path southeast of South Dock Marina, across the culverted mouth of the Earl's Sluice and north of Aragon Tower.

The sale included "a valuable freehold and leashold wharf with 128 feet river frontage" as well as foundry, warehouses, engine house, yard and other items associated with their shipbuilding business.

[9] In March 1846, the London and Croydon Railway announced they had "made arrangements for possession of a large wharf and dock adjoining Her Majesty's victualling yard at Deptford".

The rail link was lost in the early 1960s, in a period when all usage of the Surrey Docks was in decline following the move to larger vessels and to containerised transport of goods.

Jacomb-Hood instructed his recently appointed assistant Frederick Banister to design, survey and manage the construction of the branch line and dock, which was completed in 1849.

[20] Several photos exist of the unusual sight of a steam locomotive (LB&SCR D1 class) and wagons travelling down the middle of this residential street.

[18] Deptford Wharf was visited by a rail tour in 1958, which showed that the docks and railway were still in active use, and the branch down Grove Street to the victualling yard was still connected.
