This was then owned by Thames Water and had been replaced by the new ring main. The old station was deemed too dangerous to enter but we saw a section with diesels being scrapped and old boilers used as oil tanks. This was part of the New River Scheme but is now an indoor climbing centre. I suspect few people realise they are climbing where beam engines once reigned supreme.
