This shows the River Team on the right. There is a flower butterfly on the bank. The tower block on the left is, I believe, Eslington House. The location is a best guess based on an old site plan and some help from Penny Mayes. There was another bridge further east but I do not think the view from there would clip Eslington House like this.
