I came across this historic image on Twitter, showing the just-built DLR
viaduct crossing the derelict docks at Canary Wharf, before the skyscrapers
were parachuted in. The absense of trains suggests that the pic was taken
in 1986 or 87.

Was that a power station on the left towards the top or an incinerator?

I think it was Brunswick Wharf Power Station, which was demolished soon
after this picture was taken.

Now, of course, the left of those three docks contains the future Crossrail
station, the centre has the Jubilee station and the third one still is
still full of water.

The rate at which they're being filled in the Docklands name will soon become
a misnomer.

The Royals still look like docks, but they're being developed, too.
