My grandfather grew up in Battersea - just off Park Road - in the 1920s, and he told me that his first 'proper' job after leaving school was as a 'telegram boy' and that one of his first deliveries was to the base of the 'rear left' tower (as you look at it from the river) while it was still only about half way finished, to one of the stone masons. I have photos of him in his uniform and cap and its lovely to imagine him climbing up the scaffold to deliver the telegram.
