The new tea warehouses, London Docks, 1845. Creator: Unknown

The new tea warehouses, London Docks, 1845. The New Warehouse is situate at the West Quay, on the North-west side of the Docks, and very near the principal entrance from East Smithfield, on the site of the original Superintendents Office and Baggage-warehouse. It was commenced in May, 1844, and completed in July last, at the cost, we understand, of £ 100, 000. The entire building is in height five stories, of eleven feet each, exclusive of the vault, and is much loftier than any of the London Dock warehouses. The principal, or Tea Warehouse, is 290 feet in length, and 104 feet in width. The superficial area of the Ground floor, exclusive of walls and staircases, being the space available for stowage, &c. is 26, 040 square feet. The cubical contents of the space for stowage in the Warehouse is 1, 269, 450 feet, or about 11, 000 tons of ordinary produce; and the capacity, if stowed with tea, would be for 120, 000 chests.
