Hartshorn Wharf

   Wharf out of Lower East Smithfield, between the Army Victualling Office and Glasgow Wharf (34 H. VIII. 1542, in L. and P. H. VIII. Dom. S. Vol. XVII. p. 399-Lockie, 1810).

   In Henry VIII's time there was a brewhouse adjoining the wharf, which appears to have been in existence in 3 Hen. VII., as the "hortishorne" is mentioned in a rental of that date set out in Tomlinson's History of the Minories, p. 58.

   The position of the brewhouse is shown in the Survey of St. Katherine's, 1686, Sloane MS. 3254, A. I. Br. Mus., next to Brown's Wharf.

   Brewhouse removed and wharf rebuilt for the formation of St. Katherine's Docks, 1827.
