WAPPING HIGH STREET, LONDON LOOKING WEST Tapestry

I PAINTED THIS SCENE OF PARTOF WAPPING HIGH STREET IN 1980, LOOKING WEST TOWARDS THE CAPTAIN KID PUB AND ST JOHNS WHARF NEWLY REBUILT, JUST BEFORE THE LADY WALKING TOWARDS YOU IS BLACK AND WHITE BOLLARD, It's made from a Napoleonic cannon and was put there c1850 to protect pedestrians from horses and carts mounting the pavement as they turned the corner. To the left is one of the last remaining Victorian style art nouveau street lamp post. the street was re-cobbled at some time after this and now not so worn as the original, making an awful noise when cars travel down the street. I lived in Gun Wharf, to the left of the picture, and a print of this painting still hangs in the entrance hall.
