1910 (circa)
Philip Mayer records that these were built
by James Cropper, on the shore, for workers on his Dingle Estate.
Note the distant view of Dingle Point just above the railings, right
of screen.
Much of the Dingle Estate was demolished by the
Docks and Habour Board in 1919 to provide land to expand their Dingle
Oil Jetties and Petroleum Stores. The riverside walk visible here
was obliterated.
Later still the Otterspool promenade
(northern extension) and finally the 1984 garden festival destroyed
all traces of this area which now lies buried, under what
has become Riverside Drive, close to the Britannia Pub on the
waterfront.
