Kirk & Kirk of Upper Richmond Road Putney (Ernest Marples the minister of transport was the major shareholder). Their builders yard is now a gated community beside the Arab Boy pub, the site was so big that they needed a lorry onsite to move equipment from one part of the site to another part, many times I was allocated as a driver to the site, that was 1965/66, they had a huge canteen onsite for the workers, great food and cheap to, most of the time I slept in the cab of my 7 ton Bedford TK except when Sammy the fitter woke me up to move say a four wheel compressor to another location or a load of steel girders, there may have been other construction companies involved on the site as it was huge, covered a very large area.

Was it the site of an original fountain, or a sump/reservoir that was part of the original infrastructure that supported the fountains? Do we know what "pond" now connects with?

Lived therea for the first two weeks of 2000. A safe, relatively peaceful and affordable place. International clientele, everyone was friendly, TV room, bar, cafeteria, the was cheap and tasted good.Toilet and shower facilities were clean and operating. Free transport to and from Victoria Station. I was fortunate to have found a flyer by chance @ Victoria of Eurotower after arriving from Amsterdam by coach before sunrise, not knowing where to stay, en route to Namibia. I called them they picked me up from Victoria and brought me back. I reckon I must have been the only American/Namibian to have had the experience and pleasure of staying there.....

It was a boating lake. Never a paddling pool. Woe betide any child, when it was a Children Amusement park, who tried to get out of their motor-boat or canoe and stand on the island. Paddling would, I suspect, bring down greater wrath from the bot hirer !!

There was a bomb site near, so you may be right. My family was one of the first to move there in 1968/9. We had a flat on the top floor.
