Steam-powered ferries across the Thames from Woolwich in south-east London first operated in 1889. • A similar paddle-wheel type was used for their replacements in the late 1920s – early 1930s. These, still operated by the London County Council are those seen in this film, made on 1961 including Squires, Gordon, Crooks and Benn. A pedestrian tunnel links the ferry approaches, provided with lifts and stairs. For the able-bodied its use could usually be quicker than taking the ferry.
