Poplar Blackwall and District Rowing Club is an rowing club, on the River Thames in England, on the northern bank of the Thames opposite Greenwich on the Isle of Dogs, London. ==History== Poplar Blackwall and District Rowing Club was founded in 1854 and is one of the oldest rowing clubs in Great Britain. It was established by a group of young lightermen as "The Blackwall Rowing and Athletic Club". Boats were carried to the river from a local pub. After World War I there was an increase in membership from shipwrights, boilermakers and stevedores from the nearby shipyards and docks, although the depression in the 1930s led to reduced activity again. The club reformed with its present name in 1935 and established a club and boat house on the present site in 1937. The club house marks the finish of the annual Great River Race. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Poplar Blackwall and District Rowing Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
