Talk:London Docklands Development Corporation

Address

From what I can see of the Bloomberg article the address was 'Independent House 191 Marsh Wall London, E14 9RS' - can someone add this to the infobox. Jackiespeel (talk) 17:39, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

London Dockland Study Team

I have the two volume 'London Dockland Study Team Docklands redevelopment proposals for East London' produced by R Travers Morgan & Partners, produced early 1973 (ie before the impact of joining the then EEC, the Yom Kippur War etc and the consequences variously thereof).

Among other points - a concentration on industry rather than office development, the Channel Tunnel (1970s version) was to pass through; and the possibility of 'a minitram (light railway system)' - presumably a precursor of the DLR.

A mention in the article? Jackiespeel (talk) 19:47, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Survivals

The 'gazebo'/shelter opposite 7-8 Hurley Crescent, Canada Water area has a weathervane with the LDDC, and the 'monument' on Dock Hill Avenue (pool?) has a LDDC design for the centre (Google Maps and Street View) - possibly more traces available. Jackiespeel (talk) 19:12, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

The LDDC was also responsible for Stave Hill in the locality. Jackiespeel (talk) 19:24, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
