In January 2009, DLR opened its 40th station at Woolwich Arsenal and, to mark the occasion, wanted to produce a unique commemorative publication. A Brief History of the Docklands gives readers an informative and entertaining insight into the history of each Docklands location that is served by a DLR station.

The document records some of the historic highlights, extraordinary events and fascinating facts that have shaped the development of the Docklands.
