Summary[edit]

Description
English: Battersea: Ransome's Dock (2) This is one of the last surviving docks built off the River Thames upstream of the Tower of London. The dock is dog-legged with this narrow straight section leading off the river, with a wider dock to the south. The 1874 Edition of the Ordnance Survey mapping shows only this straight section, but by the time the 1896 Edition was published the extension pool is shown too. The older editions of the mapping show a foundry on the left side of the dock, while later ones show flour mills on the frontage of the River Thames. The supporting cables of the Albert Bridge can be seen in the background over the boat which is the 'Lindisfarne'.
