The Crofton pump house and chimney were built in 1807 and started working in 1809. I think the patches on the wall were where the beams for the 1812 Boulton and Watt pump were passed through the wall.
I thought I’d post a photo I took of the beams of the Crofton Beam Engines. These are the oldest working steam engines in the world!
Today’s photo is of a Tower Bridge Steam Engine. One of two identical engines, it is housed under the south approach to the bridge.
Being lazy, here’s a vertical interpretation of the view to the north-west from Tower Bridge.
Continuing with my series of images of London, here’s a view North West from Tower Bridge. Like the photo of to the west, this was taken from the west walkway and has been processed through Photomatix.
