Inscription

The foundation stone of Commodity Quay, World Trade Centre London, laid on St Katharine's Day 1985.

Site: Tea trade - St Katharine Docks (2 memorials)

E1, St Katharine Docks, Commodity Quay

London Docks has many photographs with very useful captions. These make it clear that of the two buildings on the Quay named Commodity Quay, the WTC was on the site of the one to the west. The name of the building to the east is, confusingly, Commodity Quay. Our photo shows just the corner of this easterly building.
