A look back at the Cubitt brothers, Thomas (1788–1855; grave 649, square 48), William, and Lewis and their work in London in the 19th century. Two, Thomas and William, had extensive works at separate Thameside locations, demonstrating the importance of the Thames to London’s growth. They would use riverside locations in central London to not only contribute to, but also showcase Britain's expanding Empire through docks and warehouses and prestigious commercial edifices.
