Love the grittiness in the setting, I sense a smell of accumulated grime over many years. 

Thank you. True the Old City dates to colonial times so it's had plenty of time for absorption to say nothing of only forty years of diesel buses, now thankfully gone.

Some snaps from the Silvertown district in East London.

This area is currently undergoing a £3,500,000,000 redevelopment scheme. First pair show 'Silo D'. This structure is Grade II Listed which means it will have to be left well alone by the developers as it is "of special interest, warranting every effort to preserve it";

This is the west facade of the building seen to the right of the second snap of the previous post.

It is the old Vernon & Sons / Spillers 'Millennium Mills' flour mill. Originally constructed in 1905 it was badly destroyed by an explosion in a nearby munition works in 1917(*) and was completely rebuilt first in 1935 (seen here on the right) and a second wing was added in 1954 (on the left). Both of these dates can just be discerned in carvings towards the top of each section. The name of the then-current owners - Spillers - can be seen, highlighted, on the centre block;

* EDIT : For anyone who might be curious and wish to read a little more here's the Wiki entry for the 'Silvertown Explosion' which includes a period photograph showing the effect of the blast on the MIllennium Mills. It was an absolute catastrophe. I found these bits from accounts of the time to be quite extraordinary;

"A Gas Holder was damaged on Greenwich Peninsula, creating a fireball from 200,000 cubic metres (7,100,000 cu ft) of gas..."...

"Reportedly......the blast was heard up to 100 miles (160 km) away)..."...

"Up to 70,000 properties were damaged..."...

......😮......

Thanks for sharing that story pippy, interesting read

Here's the same Millenium Mills, as seen from the Victoria Docks footbridge. Unfortunately someone put up some kind of screen that hides the gap between the old and newer building as well as the SPILLERS name on the lower connecting building.
