Town Quay and Centre, Barking, Greater London
An aerial view of Barking from the south west with the Town Quay, on the River Roding, in the foreground. Ships used to load and unload at the quay but could not tie up there for any length of time. A large fishing fleet used it up to the late 19th century. Beyond the quay is St Margaret's Church and cemetery with the ruins of Barking Abbey alongside. Barking town centre is behind the church.
