That last one was the same day we got interrogated by the police because Jim was filming the edges of London City Airport with his Super-8 and I tried to diffuse the situation by pulling out my Labour Party membership card.

This photo was just before we embarked on the Woolwich Ferry. Good day.

this means there is video footage too!?

Doubt it tbh. Jim wanted to make a film of me. A very good idea but came to nothing.

I forgot about that! Interrogated by police with very big guns in fact. I've never known if you were taking the piss by bringing that card out or if you genuinely thought it would be helpful.

I think it was an uncertain mixture of both.

That's industrial Yyaldrin. At least, I think so. Probably to do with the sewers and the pumping station next to it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbey_Mills_Pumping_Station

Top one isn't actually London. I feel I can remember a sooty London and I also remember when they starting cleaning the buildings too.

That CCTV camera slithering out of the wall in the first one...

I looked it up yyaldrin. "The snail is a spiral of redundant pumping machinery, beside a footpath off the Greenway, adjacent to East London's sewage cathedral."

I really like these but I should have taken them out of the album before I photographed them
