Dead Man's Hole

07 Oct 2008 406
Under Tower Bridge. Bodies were dumped into the Thames here -- easier to do at high tide, natch. I found this on the internets : "Before Tower Bridge was built, a ferry ran from Horselydown Steps, near the southern foot of today's bridge, to a point on the north bank known as Dead Man's Hole - so called because the ferrymen operated a lucrative sideline taking corpses across the river. The reason was simple. Bart's Hospital, on the north side, paid 6d more for the bodies used for medical research than Guy's Hospital on the south." See where this picture was taken. [?]

St Katharine Pier. The Ardwina (on the right) belongs to the firm of an esteemed Flicrkmate. It must be amazing to see one of these under full sail on the Thames. See where this picture was taken. [?]

From St Katharine Pier. Something recognizable for my mates at home, who at this point are scratching their heads and wondering wtf I was doing for a week in London taking pix of graffiti and boot scrapers. See where this picture was taken. [?]
