EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Bedford Lemere in 1883, offers a glimpse into the industrial heart of Victorian London with a view of Robinsons Flour Mill in Deptford. The mill, a testament to the era's engineering prowess, stands tall against the backdrop of the Thames River, its red-brick facade adorned with intricate architectural details. The mill's large chimney, billowing with smoke, symbolizes the industriousness and energy that fueled the city's growth during this period. The image is further enlivened by the presence of boats in the foreground, adding a sense of movement and dynamism to the scene. The Thames, a vital artery of commerce and transportation, is dotted with various vessels, from small fishing boats to larger cargo ships. The mill and the boats together create a harmonious blend of land and water, industry and nature. The photograph also highlights the intricate network of bridges and cranes that connected the mill to the river, enabling the efficient transfer of goods between the mill and the boats. The robust iron structures, with their intricate designs, are a testament to the engineering skills of the time. Robinsons Flour Mill, with its imposing presence, was a significant part of Deptford's industrial landscape during the late 19th century. This photograph, taken by Bedford Lemere, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering us a glimpse into the world of Victorian industry and the bustling waterfront of Deptford, London.
