From other pictures I have seen it looks like the pumps have had new motors fitted in fairly recent times. I know about the A, B, C and F stations, but where are or were D and E? I think the small building near the North (I think) end of the C Station was a valve house, but what were the other small buildings on the site? I know about the chimney bases. The colour scheme looks very different to how it was when I last saw it, a sort of yellow and grey I think, looked rather odd. I’ve been inside Abbey Mills A, C and F, Crossness and Western stations, but have only seen the outside of Deptford, from a DLR train. Is it still in use? What plant is installed in it? I can’t find any pictures of the inside of it.
My grandad worked here. Brings back so many memories.
