Every time I pass by here my soul is uplifted by those grand buildings.

If only they built infrastructure in such a grand manner today.

Turn up at 09:00 on a Tuesday and you’ll hear the warning siren test (indeed, you’ll hear it much further afield), which is, if needed, intended to warn of a leak of chlorine, if I recall correctly.

Mrs.. Thomas’s tomb in Hampton Church, and tomb-hunting in general, is the subject of a humorous paragraph or two in Three Men In A Boat.

Interesting - the nooks and crannies of civilisation.

Looks like that blue and white van is also used for getting across the bridge, it appears to be a Daihatsu Hijet - quite rare in the UK now.

The white one on the bridge might be a Suzuki. Even the white car (Ford Lincoln) on the left is unusual for the UK.

Being a retired water engineer I particularly enjoyed this morning's post, thank you.

Just to clarify, what the diggers were constructing was a dead level bed of sand. The Schmutzdecke is the layer of organic and other material filtered out from the water passing down through the bed. As it builds up it improves the performance of the filter until it becomes too clogged and has to be removed.
