That first modern photo you put up, with the pump holding its own architecturally against the ubermodern building behind it, is absolutely brilliant. Interesting that the timing of the water switching coincided with other water cleanup projects like the Embankment, etc. Also, didn’t know that Aldgate Pump was the signifier of the beginning of the East End. I learn so much from this blog!
