More Thames Path Charlton to Belvedere, London. Monday 25 April 2011
	Crossness, on the south bank is all about sewage - with two modern Sewage Sludge Incinerator plants The second more recent plant on the left looks a rather less elegant cheap version of the earlier plant The last time I came along here there was only one incinerator plant - it was opened in 1998 Alongside the Bazalgette pumping station that simply pumped sewage out when the tide would take it seawards
	The Crossness Engines Trust are restoring this Grade I listed building with its huge pumps and fine ironwork  The Romanesque Crossness Southern Outfall Works were opened in 1865  It had to have large pumps to deal with all ofSouth London's sewage   which was pumped into a covered reservoir and then released over a few hours after high tide There was extensive valndalism after the stie closed in the mid 1950s
