A history of the London Docks - from the Romans to today
Tim Potter looks at the history of London’s Docks from the Romans through to the great expansion of the docks in the 19th century and their catastrophic collapse in the 1970’s. Tim explains how the economy of East London became dominated by the docks and how this led to great social changes in the area: immigration, poverty and political mass movements.
