Stand and Deliver



This, the Kew Bridge Standpipe Tower, marks the site of the Kew Bridge Steam Museum. This is where the engine was built in the 19th century to supply London with water, the standpipes absorbed the immense pressure of each stroke of the engine without bursting the mains pipes. The museum is one of those places I've long wanted to visit, but never have.
