1881 – Tavern, Royal Albert Dock, London

“Our illustration shows one of the taverns proposed to be built at the Royal Albert Dock by Mr. W. H. Lascelles, Bunhill-row, from drawings by Messrs. Vigers and Wagstaffe, for the London and St. Katherine Dock Company. The walls of basement are to be of cement-concrete, faced on both sides with Potter tiles. Above this the walls are to be brick, and the roofs covered with plain tiles. The bay-windows, caryatides, cornices, etc, are to be of Mr. Lascelles concrete. Our view is taken from the drawing in this year’s Royal Academy exhibition.”
