All welcome
Just to try out something different we are holding the Wapping Summer Shindig in Wapping Gardens this year and renaming it Wapping Summer Fete. It will be on Saturday July 13 from 12pm-6.
At 11am Ray Newton from the History of Wapping Trust, will lead a walk travelling from outside the Turk’s Head Cafe to Hermitage Basin, along Spirit Quay and finishing at Wapping Gardens. Come and learn about the docks that once inhabited this area. Also on that day, the River Police Museum will be open from 11am. On the stage we will have dancing, music and all kinds.
Do come!
Thank you to everyone who came to the Shindig, it was very hot and fun. Here are some pictures to prove it!

The Wapping Summer Shindig is on Saturday July 7 from 12-7pm.
Here are the designs for the vent pipes at Shadwell Park. Tideway will submit its planning application to Tower Hamlets Council in the summer as it needs planning consent for the pipes to be erected. The designs are not to scale and the main 2, as shown in the first slide will be 30 feet high. Another 3 will also be built.
