Its name meant Red Cliff, and was a place favoured to land cargoes in earlier days because the bank s of the Thames were firm, and not muddy at low water. Much of old Ratcliff was destroyed in a fire of 1794. In 1612 all of the parishes downstream from the Tower of London on the north bank of the Thames, namely Wapping, Shadwell, Ratcliff and Limehouse, came under the parish of Stepney. Its name seems to have almost disappeared from the London landscap e of today, unlike its neighbouring hamlets. On 30 June 1928 a Memorial Tablet was erected at Brunswick Wharf, Blackwall, to commemorate that from close by that vicinity, in December 1606, the three vessels Godspeed, Susan Constant and Discovery left on the voyage which led to the foundatio n of the Colony of Virginia."
