Deptford Wharf in London, UK is situated on the Thames Path south-east of South Dock Marina, across the culverted mouth of the Earl's Sluice and north of Aragon Tower. The housing here, completed in 1992, is on the site of former railway sidings and riverside wharves, and before then docks and building slips.〔Plaque at entrance to Tariff Crescent〕 〔Shipbuilders of the Thames and Medway by philip Banbury, David & Charles, Newton Abbot, 1971, ISBN 0715349961, p127〕 ==Dock and Shipyard== The dock built was by John Winter in 1704〔(Greenwich Industrial History, Volume 3, Issue 3, April 2000 )〕 and belonged to the Evelyn family.
