"Surrey Docks windpump"

Note on reverse: "standing at or close to bottom of bank by stretch of water, not filled in, from wh. it draws its supply - it is standing on the large Downtown area, encompassed by Rotherhithe & Redriff Sts, infilled since docks shut a fascinating flat empty open deserted hard, cracked & vegetation-covered waste-land (2 small areas allotments, the mill being by 1 of them). In actuality, the pump, near one edge of it, altho' of course it can be seen from afar is dwarfed into insignificance by this incredible wasteland at any distance".

"Downtown (Surrey Docks) windpump"

Note on reverse: "Sailcloth flapping as it approaches & passes base of tower; filled out for rest of rotation. Tower too slender to be cause of this & ground-sail clearance of 2.2m-2.3m in large flat open area cd hardly be cause either".
