Splendid detailing in the exterior brickwork.

The modern pumping station (1994-7, Allies and Morrison.) is impressive, but not in the same league.

Ruined factory on the Channelsea Island between the Channelsea River and Abbey Creek. The original Abbey Mill was on an island in the river, though I'm not sure if it was this one. There are no remains.
