Summary

Description
English: Down Milk empties approaching Vauxhall.

View northward, towards Waterloo. After being unloaded, by pipes from Vauxhall Station (Windsor Line side) direct to the big United Dairies Depot, the tankers were worked up to Waterloo to reverse and then return to the West Country via Salisbury. Here the locomotive is ex-LSW Drummond class T14 'Paddlebox' 4-6-0 No. 443 (the first, built 3/1911, withdrawn 5/49). [What was the building with the prominent tower?]

EDITORS NOTE: I am informed by Lambeth Archives that it is "the chimney of the Doulton pottery works . . . It stood on the Albert Embankment between Vauxhall and Lambeth bridges. The company relocated to Stoke on Trent in the 1950s and the building was then demolished."
