It's easy to forget now, but London used to be a hub of the nation's industry; a city where factories and their plumes blanketed the city. A lot has changed, industry has dwindled, and often what little is left can look rather chaotic. But there's a beauty and melancholy in the abandoned, and the still-functioning.
