A bit of my personal family history brought on by your landing experience:
Pictures - the first the screen shot from the opening of "Call the Midwife" The 2 funnels on the ship belong to the QSMV (Quadruple screw motor vessel) Dominion Monarch of Shaw, Saville & Albion. The street in the picture is Saville Road in Silvertown. (Not Poplar where the show is set.) There is an actual photo of the Dominion Monarch, and the other of my Dad directing traffic in and out of the main gate of Tate & Lyle Silvertown refinery with the opening in the houses at the back being Saville Road. My Uncle Charlie lived on Milk Street, by the East end of KG V dock - he was a crane driver in the Royal Docks. I believe where the Dominion Monarch was moored for the screen shot is now the parking lot for the London Municipal Airport.
