I love the brutality of the names brits give to the things: they use to call Abbey Lane pumping station Cathedral of Sewage, and the reason for building it was the so-called Great Stink of the 1858, when the terrible smell crucially hit the central parts of the city.London Velonotte will be around the station around 4 o'clock on June 24th, 2012.
Until the WWII the station main building was flanked by two gracious towers - picture taken from http://davidnice.blogspot.com/2011/04/khamsin-week-in-london.html - |
