THE ESTATE
TIMELINE
1651 Pioneering businessman, Alexander Hay, became proprietor of Tooley Street warehouses, taverns and brew houses in London Bridge. His business acumen enriched the area and it began to be a key trading dock for the country. 1696 Joseph Hay (son of Alexander Hay) established an insurance scheme named 'Ye Amicable Contributors' and formed the first fire brigade in London to protect the area. 1838 Marked the end of nearly two centuries of the Hay family affiliation with Hay's Wharf.
1666 The Great Fire of London virtually destroyed the City and the riverside wharfs.
1960 The recovered dock was handling 2 million
1969 Saw the demise of the wharfs due to fierce labour disputes with the Dockers and a lack of manpower to unload the ships. A change in trading patterns and containerisation was also to blame. Early 1980s The land at Hay’s Wharf was acquired and the regeneration of the derelict docks stretching from London Bridge to Tower Bridge began. It was named London Bridge City. 1987 Hay’s Wharf was transformed into a beautifully designed shopping arcade, Hay’s Galleria Artist, David Kemp, was commissioned to build the giant sculpture, The Navigators, to remember the areas docking heritage.
1700s Hay's Wharf was used as a refuge for German Protestants escaping persecution, some emigrate to New America
tons of foodstuffs within its wharfs and had 11 cold and cool air facilities.
1977 Skate City was built and the Queen’s Walk (from Lambeth Bridge to Tower Bridge) was established to mark the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. 1986 Saw the completion of phase one of London Bridge City: No.1 London Bridge and the Cottons Centre.
1840 John Humphrey Jnr took over the leasehold of the wharf.
1849 Britain opened up trade with the
international market and started importing tea on the much-admired Tea Clippers from China, India and Ceylon.
1856/57 Sir William Cubitt, an acclaimed civil engineer, was commissioned to build a new wharf around an enclosed dock.
1861 Hay's Dock was destroyed by the Great Fire of Tooley Street - described as "the greatest spectacle since the Great Fire of 1666". Early 1920s Ernest Shackleton's ship, The Quest, was fitted out in Hay's Wharf for the ill-fated Polar Expedition of 1921-1922
1998 The More London Estate was sold to London Bridge Holdings Limited who developed it into what it is today.
Late 1800s/early 1900s The Wharf was rebuilt and became a major dockland serving the whole of the British Empire. Handling thousands of tons of dairy produce from abroad, it was named the Larder of London'. Cottons Wharf was converted into the first commercial cold storage warehouse in Britain. 1940s Hay’s Wharf was badly damaged during WWII bombings and once again it was rebuilt.
2002 City Hall was completed.
2010 7 More London Riverside was the last building to be finished.
Present Day London Bridge City encompasses the site of these historic warehouses, with No. 1 London Bridge, Cottons Centre, Hay’s Galleria and More London Estate all standing proud within this dynamic riverside food, shopping and entertainment hub.
