Talk:Pool of London

Untitled
Autochthony writes: The Pool of London was the effective commercial centre of The Empire. London - 'then' as now - was a centre for shipping - insurers, owners, brokers, charterers and sub-charterers, surveyors, registries, Registrars General, Exchanges, and the rest.

The importance of the Pool - at the landward head of the London River - can hardly be over-emphasised, it is suggested. I am not quite so clear on how to reflect this in the article. Number of shipowners within a mile of the pool? Presence of Lloyd's Register? And the Baltic?

Boundaries
The lead section of this article suggests that the Upper Pool runs from London Bridge to Tower Bridge and the Lower Pool from Tower Bridge to Cherry Garden Pier 'Rotherhithe'.

According to the Ordnance Survey the Upper Pool runs from London Bridge to approx Cherry Garden Pier (which nb is in Bermondsey), and the Lower Pool from approx Cherry Garden Pier to approx Regent's Canal Dock/Limehouse Basin. This is almost twice as large as suggested in the lead. This has been the case since (at least) 1870, the oldest OS map to which I currently have access. Any comments?

According to Weinreb and Hibbert's The London Encyclopaedia the Lower Pool runs from Limekiln Creek to the Cherry Garden Pier. It includes the entrance to Limehouse Cut and the Regent's Canal Dock (originally separate) and excludes the Thames Tunnel and Rotherhithe Tunnel. The Upper Pool runs from Cherry Garden Pier to London Bridge. Pterre (talk) 17:31, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
