Artist's Notes
The Thames at this point is still a working river despite the gentrification further upstream so it is still common to see ocean going vesses like this one discharging cargo. Tate and Lyle is the biggest producer of refined sugar in Britain and the plant is still operational. It should be noted that Tate was one of the founders of the company but also funded the Tate Gallery from the fortune that he made.
