In The Engine Room at Tower Bridge
Although now powered by electricity, originally the engine room under Tower Bridge was steam driven. This is the fly wheel on one of the hydraulic pumps that eventually lifts the "bascule" sections on the bridge.
This shot was hand held, but braced, for a 1sec exposure so I could show the wheel turning.
