This evocative photograph, captured by Bedford Lemere in March 1895, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and intricacy of the Streatham Hill Pumping Station. Situated in the heart of London, this Victorian industrial marvel was a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the era. The image reveals the impressive facade of the pumping station, with its red brick exterior, intricate ironwork, and tall, arched windows.
