This authentic 1960s colour photograph captures the imposing industrial landscape of Greenwich Power Station during the summer of 1969. The image features the four massive brick chimneys of the station, which was originally built in the early 20th century to provide electricity for London’s tram network. In the foreground, traditional brick housing and a school-like building with a small cupola represent the residential community living in the shadow of this energy hub. To the left, large industrial cranes stand along the banks of the River Thames, while the hazy horizon reveals the distant white chimneys of Deptford Power Station and various gas holders. The photograph illustrates the grit and functional scale of East London’s riverside before the large-scale deindustrialisation of later decades. This digital download is a powerful record of London’s engineering heritage, perfect to print for yourself as a piece of atmospheric vintage wall art.
