The name 'Wapping', though now rarely heard, was once very familiar to residents of Hobart.Wapping was a working class residential district which lay on either side of the lower reaches of the Hobart Rivulet- an area bounded by Park,Sackville,Campbell and Macquarie Sreets.

The story of Wapping in many ways reflects the development of the city of Hobart itself,and the relationship of the city of Hobart itself, and the relationships between its social classes.
