Title
Pier Head Cottages by Westferry Road
Description
View of the derelict two-storey terraced houses at 11-14 Pier Head Cottages, just off Westferry Road, Isle of Dogs. They once stood near the entrance to Millwall Dock on the Westferry Road. The cottages stood at a right angle to Westferry Road, with the River Thames and Limehouse reach to the left of the cottages, and Westferry Road to the right. The terraced cottages with bay windows containing iron piers were designed by F.E. Duckham, the Millwall Dock Company's engineer for the company, and were built by C. Lewis and J. Bostock in 1875. The cottages orginally housed employees of the Millwall Dock Company such as dock policemen and the lock foreman. Number 11 has an unusual porch made out of wooden panels. A number of the first-floor windows are broken and the ground-floor windows have been boarded up with corrugated iron sheets. At the fronts of the cottages are bushes. The row of cottages was originally much longer and cottages at numbers 3-10, one of which had housed the dockmaste, were demolished earlier in 1954-55. Numbers 11-14 were later demolished by the London Docklands Development Corporation in 1986. Housing dating from 1980s and Old Bellgate Place, Isle of Dogs, now cover the site.
