Maguire Street

This great looking old building, a pumping station for the old Victorian built London sewer system, has apparently recently been repurposed and now forms part of the new giant sewer construction project that's currently being built in London. The new project replaces the Victorian "plumbing" that's been in place for 150 years in the capital and no longer has the capacity to efficiently service the ever expanding city of London.

This was actually taken mid-afternoon on a really bright winter's day. The light was as harsh as harsh can be and I worked in Lightroom to convert to B&W and make a more graphic representation of the scene. If you look top left you can just about see the strong sunlight spilling into the frame which I was determined to keep in the picture.
