The Wallbrook was a sister to the Mayesbrook and Beverleybrook originaly built to carry coal from Beckton Gas works on the Thames to Southend, for river craft they looked more like small coasters,bridge above the old mans cabin with bridge wings an all. The Mayesbrook sunk on the Thames with reels of paper bound to Aylesford and went to Holland when raised while the Beverley was on the ballast run from Brightlinsea for 'Gentleman Jim' for a longtime, what became of her in the later years I have no idea. The London Bridge did become the Nova L and I think that was the last name she sailed under.
