	Wandle Industrial Museum: Secrets & past of the powerful river Wandle.
		The River Wandle is sourced from the North Downs above Croydon, surfacing now in Waddon, running west until it meets the secondary source in Carshalton, then via Hackbridge Mitcham, Ravensbury St Helier Morden Wimbledon Colliers Wood, Summerstown and Wandsworth to the Thames passing through the London Boroughs of Croydon Sutton, Merton, and Wandsworth.
		Until Victorian times, the industrial history was founded on the Watermills of the Wandle.
		Its steep (relative to its length) descent made it powerful and its reliable water supply meant that, at its height, some 60 wheels were being driven, leading to the variously phrased quote of it's being the most industrialised river in the world.
