Above photo, 1890, showing the "Yacht" right also showing the "Three
Crowns" to the right of the "Conservative Club," and the "Crown and Sceptre." |
Above photo is taken off Corbett’s boat yard at Greenwich. The pub on
the left is probably "Three
Crowns" and on the right the "Yacht." I believe the Curlew Rowing
Club used the "Crown and
Sceptre" before moving to "Trafalgar
Tavern." |
Above painting, I believe by Lian O'Farrell to look like 30's style. |
Above painting, circa 1923, by Gerrish Fine Art.
Shown left is the ramshackle waterfront buildings of R. Moss & Sons,
Crane Wharf, 11-13 Crane Street, East Greenwich, immediately east of the
"Yacht" public house (formerly the "Yacht Hotel"), with the bow of what
may be a Dutch sailing barge to the right. 'Moss's Wharf' appears on the
riverfront wall of the central house, which has two upper floors of
disintegrating Regency pattern iron railings: a sign reading '[P]HONE
GREENWICH' is partly visible below, and on the left flank wall is the
legend 'OLD ROPE & IRON BOUGHT FOR EXPORT'. A man, woman and a girl are
visible on the ground-floor wharf level of the building with a pile of
coiled 'junk' rope or hawser. Ladders descend from there to behind the
side of a lighter on the river, stretching across the full width of the
image.
