Went back to the "old Manor" today

[Yellow_or_black?]

Chelsea Bridge Used to commute between Putney and Blackfriars on a river boat. Was far too much fun to be having commuting - rolled out of work on a hot summer's day, sat on the deck with a G&T (boat had a bar), sun on my face, wind in my hair, almost door-to-door, half-empty transport. Versus a stinking, sweaty, hot, over-crowded, late tube full of manky frustrated punters... Decisions, decisions...

YoB you got some style baby

This place means so much to me
Having spent a lot of my childhood seeing this in the background of all my fun and games
Also my God farther worked there as a tech
He tells me stories of sleeping on the cables that were run along the walls
with all the load the cables were nice and warm

I suppose the power station and my god farther are the reason I have such
loving of all things electric.

Fact only 3 of the smoke stacks worked ( 3 Turbines) the 4th was to make it look nice !!!!




really this place !

nothing quite like it in North London.

Lol, you should call him Magneto, or Tesla with all the magnetix flux he will have been subjected to. Legend!! I used to be a tech at a TV factory (LG), and there was something fun about finding new and unusual ways to get you head down on nights. Used to have an outdoor spot under an industrial oven duct that was called 'the Bahamas' as it was hot all year round. Even when it rained the vent would keep you dry. I can remember getting my head down in a redundant part of the factory one morning after a heavy night out, and suddenly all the lights came on and a factory tour started walking around the place. If anyone had been curious enough to look under the conveyors I would have been screwed! Ahh happy days

Albert Bridge is my favourite in London (shortly followed by the Millenium Bridge) I like the last photo - the balance of orange and sandstone.

Stunning photos there mate, would have bet on them being Photoshop jobs if I've just seen them. Good to know that there are still some honest work behind
