30 X 24cm Oil on canvas. Greenwich Peninsular. Originally Tunnel Refineries and later The Syral Sugar Factory . It closed in Sept 2009. Whilst coming back from Woolwich I caught sight of this just before I entered the Blackwall tunnel. I doubled back to stop and stare. The demolition had taken a rest for the day, the sun had just set and a strange light enveloped the site. It was a magical last chance to see moment. Like watching a sinking ship. I returned two days later for more of the same at sun rise, but it had become a field of crushed brick.
This is the site some months previously
