Waiting for the photo of this nice view you’re talking about!
Amazing pic
This was also the case of the later Mudchute (or ‘Mud Shoot’ as it was originally spelled in official documents).
The name “Mudchute” derives from it being the former dumping ground for mud dredged from the Millwall Docks, which had to be regularly dredged to prevent silting up
Wikipedia.
I grew up there in the 80’s and was on that platform for the opening of the DLR with the rest of my classmates from Cubitt Town primary school. The Queen was supposed to ride past from Island Gardens where it originally started from before the South expansion but the train broke down and didn’t move for an awkward 10 minutes of a load of East London school kids staring at the Queen, pointing and laughing mainly.
Great pics
Was the guy stealing the bag? Or just takes two to carry 😅
Loved living around this area when I moved to London, still visit every once in a while!
As a gay, I feel strongly that Mudchute should be the gay bar district.
