Note on reverse: “standing at or close to bottom of bank by stretch of water, not filled in, from wh. it draws its supply – it is standing on the large Downtown area, encompassed by Rotherhithe & Redriff Sts, infilled since docks shut a fascinating flat empty open deserted hard, cracked & vegetation-covered waste-land (2 small areas allotments, the mill being by 1 of them). In actuality, the pump, near one edge of it, altho’ of course it can be seen from afar is dwarfed into insignificance by this incredible wasteland at any distance”.
