Title
Derelict warehouse in Salmon Lane
Description
Left side of derelict warehouse at 203 Salmon Lane, Limehouse, viewed from near Britannia Wharf looking north-west. The warehouse was owned by Abraham Woolfson, wholesale tobacconist, trading as A Woolfson & Co Ltd. At the right is a one-storey building, above which is a fenced platform with a loading bay door. Behind the one-storey building on the right there is a brick wall. Next to the one-storey building on the left is a two-storey building with broken windows. The roof of this building is fenced round and there is a chimney stack with a TV aerial attached to it. Next to this is a two-storey building behind a wall. At right angles to this is the front of the warehouse. From the roof a fire escape descends into the back yard. On the far left is the party wall of the demolished number 205, which is fenced off from the road. At the far left, behind the wall of 205, can be seen part of a five-storey block of flats on the other side of Salmon Lane. In the centre of the photo at the bottom is a board with 228/203/S-2 written on it, which indicates imminent demolition. The warehouse at 203 Salmon Lane was demolished and the site now contains a block of flats. The block of flats behind was demolished and the Museum of the Book, dedicated to the Bible, is now on that site.
