Cubitt Town history

---

William Cubitt, Lord Mayor of London (1860–1862), was responsible for the development of the housing and amenities of the area in the 1840s and 1850s. Cubitt also created many businesses employing manual labourers as well as the streets of housing to accommodate them.

Shipbuilding

For many years this area was home to a number of shipbuilders, such as Westwood, Baillie, Samuda Brothers and J & W Dudgeon. HMS Prince Albert, the first British warship designed to carry her main armament in gun turrets, was launched here.

Other industries

Pyrimont Wharf was developed in 1861 by the Asphalte de Seyssel Company of Thames Embankment. The businesses included those involved in cement, pottery and brick production. Asphalt production was another growth industry.
