Description and History of Site:-
Probably most dramatic riverside street in London. Bridges, on several levels, over this narrow lane connect riverside buildings with later more extensive landward warehouses. Main buildings are Butler's Wharf, architects Tolley & Dale, 1873-5, with offices, 1891-2 and warehouses in Curlew St, 1886, until recently the Design Museum. To East is pre-1850 granary behind refaced frontage. At St. Saviours Dock is the 1922 concrete warehouse of Butler's Wharf, being drastically redeveloped.
The riverside buildings were wharves, the buildings over the bridges were additional (often long term) warehouses. There was a spice grinders which must have got its stock via the river.
