From Owen Hatherlay‘s of http://nastybrutalistandshort.blogspot.com “Nil Scrap Value: Silvertown” is an interesting Photo Essay on the local area and  Silvertown. Trinity Buoy Wharf even gets a mention!

“The main reason for the closure of the London Docks was Containerisation, which made the large workforces of the docks obsolete. Instead, the boxes are collected by the automated port at Tilbury. Within Trinity Buoy Wharf is ‘Container City’, where the boxes that decimated the London working class become a fun and imaginative urban living solution for young creatives”
