A spiritual journey on River Thames -- Battersea Power Station and the revelation

The riverside walk came to a halt at Battersea Power Station.
The Power Station itself is a bleak scene.
However, it brings another revelation :-)

I found out some of the riverside walks I have walked through belong to the jurisdiction of Wandsworth.
Wandsworth?
sounds familiar.

Then I checked it in my files after back home, and BINGO! It is one of the venues that PLATFORM had carried out their project of "Still Waters"! That means it is possible for me to find out the exact sites and visit them by walking. I was like a sailor lost in the sea and suddenly see the beaming light from a lighthouse.

The first visit was paying to the river Wandle, particularly the micro-hydro turbine and a church bell at Bell Lane Creek. I still wonder, is it the installaton of the church bell that makes the name of Bell Lane Creek or the Bell Lane Creek that inspired PLATFORM to put a church bell there?
No idea.



Google map again,

without printer, I drew the map on my notebook with Battersea Power Station as a reference spot in my mind, up I went.
