Beckett's Wharf

Hammersmith Drawdock Hammersmith Drawdock and Beckett's Wharf were, in the 18th Century, important transport links for Hammersmith. Goods such as hay and coal were brought by barge and off-loaded to horse drawn carts on the foreshore for local delivery via Queen Caroline Street to Hammersmith. Today the drawdock is still an important river access point.
