Title: The GSNC's premises at Deptford.
Description: The General Steam Navigation Company's premises at the Stowage, on the western side of Deptford Creek, with one of the company's paddle steamers moored alongside. Thomas Brocklebank built his first steam vessel at Deptford in 1820. Its success encouraged him to form the General Steam Navigation Company, which bought land at the Stowage in 1825. The GSNC maintained a small fitting out yard here until the 1970s. In the background are the buildings of Deptford Power Station.
