Hi guys,

Won't put any other posts up tonight - don't want to flood the boards and be throw off ;)

This was a permission visit and a total one off. A lot of this is still in operation.

The original Abbey Mills Pumping Station, in Abbey Lane, London E15, is a sewage pumping station, designed by engineer Joseph Bazalgette, Edmund Cooper, and architect Charles Driver. It was built between 1865 and 1868. It was designed in a cruciform plan, with an elaborate Byzantine style, described as The Cathedral of Sewage.

A few hours travel from sunny South Wales to London and stayed for 4 hours with the small crew invited.

Nice one, love this place.

The water level has dropped a lot in the other building. When we went, it was well over those platforms!
