  2. Fresh up from the Thames Foreshore at Wapping on a baking hot day this week. Out larking with a friend, I spotted an interesting chunk of stone complete with crosshatched mason’s marks. My friend, Sam, was quicker with an ID than I was & recognised them as having come from ancient river steps 1/

    A chunk of foreshore stone with some mason’s marks in the form of crosshatching visible deep in the fabric. This has come from some long list river steps nearby. New Crane steps, Wapping. My shadow crisply visible against the algae-covered stone as I take a photo of the crosshatching visible on the stairs. New Crane Stairs, Wapping, view from the top looking from a narrow alleyway across the river to Rotherhithe over the water on a gloriously sunny, blue sky day.
