One photograph of 4 men working on scaffolding with a view of London in the background. Caption on back reads: 'These men rise a little higher in the world each day. Almost imperceptibly the monument to industry which they are building grows. They are working--as unconcernedly as most of us walk the pavements--on the vast chimney stack of the new Deptford Power Station. Perched in the frail-looking steel-scaffolding they are now 250 feet above the river and when their task is over they will [look] down on industrial London, pierced by the Thames, from a height of more than 100 yards'. Image published in Daily Herald on 1934-08-29, p. 16.
