1213706 The River Thames Looking Towards Westminster with York Water Gate and the York Building Water Works (w/c on paper (wove)) by Malton, James (1761-1803); 43.9 x31.0 cm; Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK; (add.info.: The strange spire-like building in this view is an early stationary steam engine. This was used for pumping water at the York Buildings Water Works. In front of it, on the river, is a jetty with an ornate doorway. This is the Watergate built for Edward III in 1348. This gate is now some distance from the river, as the river was narrowed in 1870. Thomas Malton specialised in views of buildings, often in London.); 穢 Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums; English, out of copyright.
