There has been a cottage on this site for at least 200 years. Originally, it was the home of the Controller of the Tower Wharf, known as the Wharfinger.
Until the late 19th century, the Wharf was a busy dockside. Weapons, gunpowder and other military supplies were shipped to and from the Tower, where they were stored and secured under the Wharfinger's supervision.
