Former hydraulic pumping station (1)
This building on Renforth Street, Rotherhithe is listed Grade 2 (listed building number 471228 or Heritage asset number 1385816 as from 2011).
According to the list description, it was built in 1902 for the London Hydraulic Power Company. As well as the chimney at the right of the photo there was an "accumulator tower" (surge shaft) just visible to the left rear. All these remained in their original use until the surprisingly late date of 1977. Thereafter it was used as an engineering works and eventually converted to residential use.

Housing on Renforth Street
This looked at first as if it might be part of the adjacent pumping station
Image but closer examination suggests it is a contemporary building in deliberately industrial style.

London Hydraulic Co - Renfrew Street, Rotherhithe, SE16
Signs are up, so its days could be numbered. In 1853, about where the above stands was Hales Rocket Factory owned by an inventor, William Hale. One of his inventions was a rocket and launcher extensively used in the Zulu wars and other battles. The rocket travelled without a stick and twisted like a bullet giving it greater accuracy. Before that the site was owned by Brandram Brothers where they manufactured chemicals.

Aylton Estate (part), Rotherhithe, London, SE16
Built between Neptune Street, Risdon Street and Renforth Street over land that had been Risdon Street, New Street and Mary Street. There is a single block in Neptune Street and a 'U' shaped block (shown) in Renforth Street. The above block is facing an identical block that, for some reason, is officially listed as 7 to 61 Renforth Street.
