"Surrey Docks windpump, Downtown"

Note on reverse: "If the Cretan plain wh. is thickly sown with jib-sailed irrigation windpumps only had one, that is how insignificant, this erratically-rotating, white-sailed windwheel wd look, as it does from any distance in the 'plain' of the infilled open Downtown wasteland. But imagine the whole wasteland dotted with them! a mere white rotating pimple on the landscape."

"Surrey Docks windpump"

Note on reverse: "showing [?] [?] reinforced plastic feed pip to (what I'm told is a) chain-pump in base, diving into soil, to adjacent area of water, from which allotment holders laboriously scramble down to & collect water in plastic containers. Total lift must be some 3-4m, no more, delivery pipe going off on left (see other photo). Mouth of feed pipe not seen. Flow (as, I noticed it) in a light fluctuating breeze varied from tiny trickle in delivery pipe to that of a fairly powerful domestic tap fully on. insofar".

Note on reverse: "Note: this windmotor is left with its (usable) sailcloths, partly unfurled as here all the time".
