About: Poplar Dock

An Entity of Type: ship, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Poplar Dock is a small dock in east London. It connects to the Blackwall Basin of the West India Docks and, although independent of this system, has never had a direct connection to the Thames. Originally a series of reservoirs built by the West India Dock Company and completed in 1828, Poplar Dock was converted into a railway dock, in the days before any of London's enclosed dock systems were connected to the railway network. The dock was built by the East & West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Railway Company (later the North London Railway Company) and connected to the company's goods yard at Chalk Farm. It was alone among the docks to remain outside the control of the Port of London Authority in 1909, and remained in the ownership of British Rail until closure in 1981.

dbo:abstract
  • Das Poplar Dock ist ein kleines Hafenbecken im Eastend von London. Es steht in Verbindung mit dem der West India Docks. Zwar ist es unabhängig von diesen Hafenanlagen zu sehen, hatte aber nie einen eigenen Zugang zur Themse. Es wurde ursprünglich als Reihe von Wasserreservoirs von der West India Dock Company gebaut und 1828 fertiggestellt. In einer Zeit, als noch kein Hafenbecken in London einen Eisenbahnanschluss besaß, wurde es in ein Becken für die Eisenbahn umgewandelt. Die East & West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Railway Company (später: North London Railway Company) baute es zum Hafenbecken aus und schuf eine Schienenverbindung mit dem Werkstatthof der Gesellschaft in . Es war das einzige Hafenbecken in London, das 1909 nicht an die überantwortet wurde, sondern bis zu seiner Schließung 1981 unter der Verwaltung der British Rail verblieb. Wegen des fehlenden Zugangs zur Themse benötigten seine Betreiber die Zustimmung der Eigentümer der West India Docks für Nutzungen, die nicht direkt mit deren eigenen Interessen kollidierten. In den frühen Jahren wurde das Hafenbecken hauptsächlich zum Löschen von Kohle aus Nordostengland genutzt. Der größte Teil des Hafenbeckens dient heute als Liegeplatz für Schiffe, der mit dem Blackwall Basin verbunden ist. (de)

It was alone among the docks to remain outside the control of the Port of London Authority in 1909, and remained in the ownership of British Rail until closure in 1981. Because of its lack of a direct connection to the river, its operators needed the agreement of the owners of the West India Docks for uses which did not compete directly with their interests. In its early years the dock was used mainly to import coal from the Northeast of England. Much of the dock survives today as a mooring connected to Blackwall Basin. Poplar Dock is now known as Poplar Dock Marina. It was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1999. The marina is overlooked to the south by Landons Close (part of the Jamestown Harbour development) and to the west by Boardwalk Place. (en)
