Geoff Wilkinson writes on Wanstead Daily Photo: “This picture will take a little explaining. There are two lovely old Victorian water pumping stations fed by the river Roding near Wanstead, unfortunately they are not open to the public. However I managed to get this picture with a telephoto lens, you can just see some of the machinery inside. Unfortunately it doesn’t look to me like the original working parts which in their own way were beautiful but you can’t have everything. What I really like in addition to the machinery is the colour of the sky reflected in the window and the peeling glass window frame, it’s a little off beat but I do like it.”
