Green Lanes looking north opposite Riversdale Road, c1905
Clissold Park to the right. On the left the large old houses, now replaced with council housing. In the distance are the towers of William Chadwell Mylne's (former) New River pumping station, inspired by Stirling Castle. Below is the pumping station at around the same time.
