My statement on the PLA could do with expanding (but I know little on the subject) Jackiespeel 22:13, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Current Docks

It's be really nice to have a list of all the currently operating docks (and perhaps the old ones too) in the Port of London. I know Tilbury and Dagenham, but i can never remember what else there is downstream. Shell Haven. Something else?

[edit] Port industries

I've corrected my earlier edit about Henry Bessemer. Although he developed the Bessemer Process in London before exploiting it in Sheffield, his autobiography indicates that this was at Baxter House in St Pancras, before the establishment of his Greenwich steel works.

[edit] Port of London and PLA

There is the Port of London which is a physical entity with a very definite and interesting history, and the Port of London Authority which manages the port but also has general responsibilities on the tidal Thames. At the moment these both point to the same article, which could be confusing, and apart from the pics the detail on the PLA is fairly limited. Any chance of splitting them?

I was intending to do a separate PLA article some time. If it is started off as a stub it will probably get re-absorbed into this one. Pterre (talk) 21:28, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
