Submarine Telephone Cable Hauler and Gantry at Enderby's Wharf is a late nineteenth-century industrial structure associated with the manufacture and laying of submarine telegraph cables. Located at Greenwich in London (historically serving the wider region), the hauler and gantry formed part of the infrastructure at Enderby's Cable Works, one of Britain's foremost cable manufacturing establishments. The structure dates from the period when submarine telegraph technology was transforming global communications, with Enderby's playing a significant role in this development during the latter half of the nineteenth century. The hauler and gantry represent the mechanical engineering capabilities required to handle the heavy submarine cables during their production and deployment.
