Description

The East India Dock Wall and Gateway is an early 19th-century boundary wall made of stock brick, standing approximately 15 feet high. It features interval chamfered buttresses and has a brick capping. The central gateway is set forward, with a central arch that has impost caps but is now blocked. On either side of the gateway, there are advanced sections that contain empty arched niches.
