Dock Restoration
Gasworks Dock Partnership
Cody Dock is one of the last remaining brick-lined docks in London. We are transforming this place, abandoned and neglected for decades, to what it used to be - a lively neighborhood where people could live, enjoy and work. If you are up for a challenge and feel like being part of our restoration project is something you are looking for, join our volunteer team. Get to know like minded people, try something new, have fun with the team and get dirty!
One of our biggest projects, which we started in 2019, is the restoration of our Victorian brick-lined Dock. The ultimate goal of the Dock Restoration project is simple - to give the space back to the community making it a lively neighbourhood just as once was, creating a space where people can live, work and enjoy their time off. Become part of a team of enthusiastic volunteers and be part of local legacy to help reactivate this once thriving Dock. Join our team, try and learn traditional methods of mainsonary and get closer to the history and heritage of East London. You will have to get a little bit dirty sometimes, put the waders on and get to the Dock, there will be plenty of opportunities to work with traditional techniques, hand and power tools. The area around the Dock needs constant maintenance that includes cutting of undergrowth damaging the walls of the Dock and the foundation of the dry Dock we laid a few years ago. This project will definitely keep you busy! No experience needed, training, personal protective equipment and tools provided!
