Cricklewood Pumping Station Chimney

The water pumping station was built around 1905 and was coal-fired until the 1950s, using this 135 feet, or 41 metre, high chimney to discharge smoke. In the 1950s the pumping station was electrified rendering the chimney redundant, although it has obviously found a new lease of life since as a home for mobile phone antennae. This view was taken from Olive Road.
