Blood Alley c.1930 Christmas From Belgravia's corgi to Walthamstow’sBlood Alley' in the West India Docks, circa 1930. This photograph was taken at the North Quay, West India Docks and shows a gang of dockers trucking bags of sugar beneath an awning of washed sacks that are hung out for drying at. Blood Alley' was the nickname given to roadway between the transit sheds and sugar warehouses because handling the sacks of sticky West Indian sugar badly chafed and cracked the dockers skin.
