Title
Pier Head Cottages by Westferry Road
Description
View of rear and side elevations of derelict terraced houses at 11-14 Pier Head Cottages, Westferry Road, Isle of Dogs, near the entrance to Millwall Dock. The cottages were designed by F.E. Duckham, the engineer of the Millwall Dock Company. Built by C. Lewis and J. Bostock in 1875, they orginally housed company employees such as dock policemen and the lock foreman. The windows are broken and the door is boarded-up with corrugated iron sheets. In the back garden at number 11 laundry is drying on a washing line. Montrose House, a four-storey block of flats built by the London County Council in the 1930s, and Michigan House, a block of 1960s flats situated on the other side of a lock are visible behind. The row of cottages was originally much longer, but numbers 3-10, one of which housed the dockmaster, were demolished in 1954-55. Numbers 11-14 were later demolished by the London Docklands Development Corporation in 1986. Housing dating from the 1980s and Old Bellgate Place and Wateridge Close now cover the site.
