Saturday 18th March 2007 was the day of the 13th International Sketchcrawl and did not go as originally planned, so my sketchcrawl ended up being very local - down alongside the Thames and the Pool of London between Tower Bridge and Wapping/Rotherhithe. I started just east of Wapping Station and walked down Wapping High Street towards Pier Head with diversions to the Thameside Path.As the views I sketched all involve rather historic sites, I'm going to post these as three separate posts for:
- a view of Rotherhithe and the place from which the Mayflower set sail with the Pilgrim Fathers on its journey to Plymouth Massachusetts:
- Wapping Pier Head
- Shad Thames, Tower Bridge and the Pool of London (from Wapping)
I've also decided in the light of the number of Thameside sketches I've now done to develop "The Thames and its environs" as a bit more of a sketchbook theme in the future.
