In 1856, Chelsea Waterwork (in yellow) moved to Seething Wells. The company had two filter beds (in orange) and two settling reservoirs (in green) situated next to the River Thames.  Chelsea followed the Lambeth Waterworks (in red) which had moved its location earlier in 1853.  The Lambeth company had a series of filter beds (in purple) which drew water from the River Thames.
