Poppy and oxide dasies

On the Greenway in east London.

 

The Greenway is a cycle and footpath built atop the Northern Outfall Sewer, built in the 1860s to improve sanitation in central London by discharging the sewage far downstream of London.

 

Now, the sewage is treated in the Beckton Sewage Works in east London and the grass beside the cycle and footpath has been "rewilded" by the London Borough of Newham and has many pretty wild flowers growing atop it.
