This is the end of the River Wandle's 11-mile journey across the South London suburbs. In Victorian times the Wandle was one of the hardest-working rivers in the world, with 90 mills along its length, and water so pure and clear that it attracted prestigious printers like William Morris and Arthur Liberty.
