Subject: [Leica] Coaling pier

This is the coaling pier at Greenwich Power Station. Colliers used to dock
alongside and offload coal to fire the electricity generators.

The power station is a back-up for the London Underground. It's still
operational, but is now gas-fired. The pillars of the pier are Doric in
style. 

The beach beneath the pier was the setting for a murder mystery written by
local resident and former Poet Laureate C. Day-Lewis, writing as Nichola
Blake.

M8, 35/1.4 Summilux-M (non-asph)
