Half of the sewage of London pases through this building. The pumps used to be driven by massive steam beam engines, no longer visible, these were replaced by electric vertical motors that look like daleks which in term have been augmented by the boring looking white boxes of gadgetry.
The building is the old Abbey Mills Pumping Station (Station A) located in Abbey Lane, London E15, the building is a sewerage pumping station, designed by engineer Joseph Bazalgette, Edmund Cooper, and architect Charles Driver, it was built between 1865 and 1868 after an outbreak of cholera in 1853 and “The Big Stink” of 1858. It was designed in a cruciform plan, with an elaborate Byzantine style, described as The Cathedral of Sewage. The pumps raise the sewage in the London sewerage system between the two Low Level Sewers and the Northern Outfall Sewer, which was built in the 1860s to carry the increasing amount of sewage produced in London away from the centre of the city.
Memories of Hall the Printers in Oxford prior to demolition, who judging scattered ephemera, printed a lot of 2000AD comics. Even though the machinery is long gone I love how resilient the marks and character of the previous occupants remain.

An ongoing assignment to provide Pembroke College, Oxford University with images documenting, archaeology, buildings to be demolished, demolitions and construction of a major new addition to the college by architects Berman Guedes Stretton.
The portfolio will be an historical archive for the college as well as a recourse of images for marketing purposes.
“Planning consent has been granted for one of Oxford’s largest and most dramatic college developments of recent times. A glass-sided bridge overflies the ancient City wall and Brewer Street to connect Pembroke College’s main site to five new buildings on a site which also capitalises on the view towards Lutyens’ imposing Campion Hall. At the centre of Berman Guedes Stretton’s design is a large new quad shared between the Lutyens and proposed buildings.”
The photo archive, which will be ongoing during the construction process can be seen here

An architectural photography assignment for Berman Guedes Stretton Architects for their marketing portfolio and website.
“The strong architectural language of the existing 1960s Powell & Moya building inspired the form of the two new blocks of 37 graduate rooms 13 flats at Wolfson College in Oxford.
The horizontal granite aggregate bands and concrete columns of the original building have been sensitively translated into a contemporary design using the appropriate scale and materials.
Set adjacent to ancient meadow and the River Cherwell, the ´L´ shaped building, the second of two, makes the most of its green setting and has been carefully sited to maximise aspect and views. A new garden has been partially enclosed which together with the existing building forms an additional quad. Common rooms and top floor flats have large private balconies, which provide solar shading to the south elevation.” Berman Guedes Stretton
