An Arcon Mk V I think. My uncle and aunt lived in one until the early 1970's.  The prefabs  had fridges in the kitchen and  5A sockets in every room! The rest of the family had to use BC adaptors in light sockets in their houses.

I've seen a few people working the staircase trying to get that amount of water around the bottom lock.

Dome Grenwich Peninsular River Thames. Some intrepid walkers-over-the-top. Compare 18Feb2013. Hopefully the red-wind-warning will have discouraged even the most-intrepid-walkers before the roof blew off this morning (BBC News)

If I remember on our brief stay, in 2013, waiting for a lorry to pick us up, boat and all. and take us to somewhere near Milton Keynes, that you lifted a plate somewhere in the foreground to empty your cassettes. Was that the purpose of the hose in the background?
