786-/15/10042 River wall in front of
Royal Naval College
GV II
Two hundred metres of river wall fronting the Royal Naval College (formerly Greenwich
Hospital, q.v.). 1830s, from the office ofJoseph Kay, architect to the hospital, and contemporary
with his Trafalgar Tavern (q.v.) alongside. Limestone ashlar, a formal composition with two flights
of steps at its centre, the stonework in between rusticated and slightly battered. The east end
adjoining the Trafalgar Tavern projects towards the river for twenty metres; safety is ensured by
the survival of the contemporary ironwork set between thick, square limestone piers. Each panel
of ironwork comprises a diagonal cross set with a central boss decorated with a circular'rope'.
