Part of the Tideway of the Thames, the Pool of London was navigable by tall-masted vessels bringing coastal and later overseas goods.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bustling scene in the heart of London's historic Pool of London. Taken in 1962 by artist CM Dixon, it showcases the iconic River Thames and Tower Bridge against a backdrop of moored barges. The Pool of London, once a vital hub for trade and transportation, is depicted here as a thriving waterway filled with tall-masted vessels bringing goods from coastal and overseas destinations. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of this renowned river, which was flanked by endless rows of wharves stretching for miles along its banks. In this snapshot from the past, we witness hundreds of ships dotting the river's surface, symbolizing centuries-old commerce that shaped London's prosperity. Tower Bridge stands majestically in the background, serving as both an architectural marvel and an important crossing point over the Thames. Its construction represents progress and modernity amidst traditional trading practices. CM Dixon expertly captures this momentous era when water transport played a crucial role in shaping England's economy. With meticulous attention to detail, he documents not only geographical features but also conveys a sense of timelessness that transcends decades. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to 1960s England—a country steeped in history yet embracing progress—where boats gracefully navigate through calm waters under Tower Bridge's watchful eye.
