"Hays Galleria" Photography art prints and posters by Alice Gosling

Description:

Built in the 1850s, Hays Wharf, situated on the south side of The Thames, close to London Bridge was one of the chief delivery points for ships bringing tea to the Pool of London. At its height, 80% of the dry produce imported to London passed through the wharf, and on this account the Wharf was nicknamed the ‘Larder of London'. The Wharf was largely rebuilt following the Great Fire of Southwark in June 1861.
