Harbour Master's office

1905

Taken in 1905, the Harbour Master's office at 74 Narrow Street in Limehouse, London overlooked the river. The Harbour Master oversaw the enforcement of port regulations to guarantee river users' safety.

From the office and nearby structures, long wooden ladders descended directly to the water, facilitating swift access to boats on the river.
