Blackwall Basin Swing Bridge Feature


A metal and concrete feature on the quayside on the west side and at the north end of the lock/canal between Blackwall Basin and Poplar Dock, Canary Wharf, London.

It appears to be the anchor/pivot pin for some sort of (swing?) bridge that was at this location but I don't know for sure. On one part of the large circular feature a few gear teeth can be seen implying that the 'wheel' could be rotated.
