Description

Cannon Row Wharf was a coal wharf off Cannon Row, downstream from Westminster Bridge. The whole area was swept away during the construction of the Victoria Embankment. The type of coal trolley or waggon seen here first appeared in the late 18th century and remained in use throughout the 19th century.
