Deptford Water Works Chimney Demolition 1966
I was sent this old photo showing Deptford Waterworks chimney demolition. Can anyone tell me what location the photo was taken from. Thanks.
seems to be taken from the edge of the creek - Street View has this angle which is similar - https://goo.gl/maps/haCQC34srMPX4Twh7

The water works was on the left hand side of Brookmill road going towards Lewisham on the bend in the road from Deptford Broadway.
