 Well, you can certainly see why the future of the building was uncertain.

 Is that swing aqueduct still in operation?

It, and the swing road bridge next to it look to be still used.

No, it was demolished. It's modern offices now, so the site was probably

There's just one galleried coaching inn left in London. It's in the
borough of Southwark and is still in business as a pub and is owned by

Fascinating! 

That aqueduct with the swing bridge was quite the engineering feat!
