	Victorian London - Buildings, Monuments and Museums - Abbey Mills Pumping Station
		- The Abbey Mills Pumping Station, one of the curiosities of modern civilisation, lies on the London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway, between the Bromley - by- Bow and the Plaistow stations.
		The circumstances under which the Abbey Mills Pumping Works were constructed were not altogether ordinary, and the severe simplicity by which they would otherwise have been characterised has been departed from to some extent.
		The pumps, with the engines by which they are worked, are on a somewhat higher level, and the apartment in which they stand is perhaps one of tine most curious ever devoted to such a purpose.

		Abbey Mills pumping station is no longer operating and Thames Water commissioned Dearle and Henderson Design to survey the building to determine the work required to preserve the listed building.
		The le Blan mill of 1900 was converted into flats in 1980 and much of the building must look as it did when built but the addition of a roof garden has changed some of the roof line.
		The Usine Motte Bossut is a huge castellated 'monster' mill built in the English style on the opposite bank of the Canal de Roubaix after a fire had destroyed an earlier mill on the opposite bank.

	London sewerage system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gravity was used to allow the sewage to flow eastwards, but in places (eg: Chelsea, Deptford and Abbey Mills) pumping stations were built to raise the water and provide sufficient flow.
		Construction of the interceptory system required 318 million bricks, 880,000 cubic yards (670,000 m³) of concrete and mortar, and excavation of over 3.5 million tonnes of earth.
		Sewers north of the Thames feed into the Northern Outfall Sewer which feeds into a major treatment works at Beckton.

	Building Centre Trust
		Allies and Morrison’s Abbey Mills Pumping Station might be a “Cathedral of sewage&;, but it’s also very low maintenance, unlike most cathedrals of the spirit.
		Virtually maintenance free, the pumping station with its aluminium and steel superstructure was conceived as a thing of beauty and not merely as an expression of its state-of-the-art technology.
		Chosen for the new Jubilee extension platforms at London Bridge station, these panels became an integral part of the station’s design.

		The shorter Kingfisher Walk follows Abbey Creek and passes the palatial former Abbey Mills Pumping Station, where you encounter a curious piece of pumping machinery shaped like a giant cast iron seashell.
		Both start at Three Mills Island (as does Time Travellers in the same series), a heritage centre and home of a thriving film studio complex, which is the setting for the Big Brother house.
		The longer Heron Walk follows the Three Mills and City Mill Rivers, returning beside the Old River Lea and Lea Navigation (together with the Lea Valley Walk), and sneaking a peek at Pudding Mill River.

	Casebook: Jack the Ripper - Engineering Feat that Rid London of Cholera and the 'Great Stink'
		Abbey Mills pumping station, in Stratford, East London, built in 1865-1868, was the grandest overground structure of Bazalgette’s scheme and it too is still in use today.
		He designed a grand system of intercepting sewers that carried foul water to new pumping stations and holding tanks, and the embankments needed to make the river cleaner.
		It was only in the hot summer of 1858, during the “Great Stink” when the stench from the Thames forced Parliament to rise, that the Government approved Bazalgette’s ingenious scheme.

	ABBEY MILLS
		Two pumping stations at Abbey Mills,seen across Mill Meads from Prescott Sluice.
		On the left is the high Victorian pumping station which raises sewage between two levels of Sir Joseph Bazalgette's Northern Outfall Sewer, a major part of his construction in the 1860s of London's first proper sewerage system.
		Nowadays its relatively modern pumps are on stand-by to supplement the newest ones in the building on the right, its modern replacement.

	Pudding Mill Lane - part of London's hidden history
		Three pumping stations, powered by steam engines, were built to push the sewage far out to sea, one at Abbey Mills, another at Deptford and one at Crossness on the Erith marshes.
		Admittedly a brisk walk from the station but well worth the effort to walk the Greenway path and wonder at the Abbey Mills Pumping Station.
		None of them today are operational but Abbey Mills, nicknamed "The Cathedral of Sewage", remains virtually intact as Bazalgette designed it.

	James Harvey Photography - Lea Valley
		I pressed on to Abbey Creek and Abbey Mills Pumping Station again.
		Between the stubs of Abbey Creek and the Channelsea River here is an intriguing small island with some derelict small industrial buildings on them: I imagine the footbridge is closed too now, and I always find locked bridges and blocked paths fascinating.
		At the City Mill lock I went up the Waterworks River to the Greenway, where I had intended to go left up to Old Ford Lock: but I saw that, since my walk of the 19th of February, the walkway along the Waterworks River up to Carpenters Lock has had a fence welded across it.

		Enfield Royal Small Arms Factory - I've been told that many artefacts are in store at the MOD Depot at Glascoed near Usk, kept with a view to setting up a museum there with items from other sites - like Woolwich Arsenal, and Waltham Abbey.
		Best known for their marine engines and the founder, Henry Maudslay's reputation as the father of modern engineering, the seminar will also examine to complex history of the museum's 1838 beam engine, which is believed to be the only non-rotative Maudslay beam engine remaining.
		Henry had inherited four major ships from his father which were not warships but armed merchantmen and the sinking of one of them by the French promoted the laying down at Woolwich of the 'Great Harry'.
