The east-end of London is full of relics of a golden era of engineering, before those Health and Safety at Work spoil-sports decided that human life was more important than astounding feats of ironmongery. Now days, engineering is done in computer labs, far from the blazing heat of the forge or the foaming water that once drove the dark satanic mills. It seems somewhat fititng that this industrial fossil resembles the equally extinct amonite.
A spiral water-turbine, found on a path leading from the Greenway to Three Mills Film Studios, East London.
I photographed this unusual object on a cycle ride back from the Alps (The Becton Alps), and figured it would look very nice on the front of our blog.
UPDATE: Dan requested a photo of the rear of this machine, and I am only happy to oblige, view the rest of the article if you wish to see my 2nd photo.
