A stationary steam engine was installed at Edge Hill cutting in a short tunnel bored into the rock near the Moorish Arch to haul goods wagons by rope up from the Park Lane good station at the south end docks.

Anarchism sidebar Image Steve Ignorant 1981.jpg framed right Crass lead singer Steve Ignorant performing at the Autonomy Centre in 1981 Wapping Autonomy Centre also known as The Anarchist Centre was a social centre set up in a rented former warehouse space in the Wapping area of London Docklands from late 1981 to 1982. The project was initially funded by money raised by the benefit single Persons Unknown Bloody Revolutions , as well as benefit gigs by Crass and The Poison Girls and other bands and events. Most of those involved with the project were anarchists who participated in protests and direct action against targets such as vivisection laboratories, the meat industry and the policies of then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher . During its short life, the Autonomy Centre became an important focal point for the anarchist punk movement in the UK and Europe. Anarcho punk bands such as Crass , Zounds and Flux of Pink Indians played live at the building and a large, informal anarchist support network grew up in partnership with other communities in London. Unfortunately, the centre s open door policy also attracted a large number of drug users, petty criminals and unwanted police attention. These factors, combined with problems finding the monthly rent, ultimately led to its closure. Many of those involved with the centre went on to become active at the Centro Iberico , a squatting squat ted project with similar aims and ethos in west London.
