    Report - Anglo Bavarian Brewery Pump House, Shepton Mallet - October 2024

    Introduction Once again a fantastic 28 Days Later meet, this time in Bristol. It's a shame I didn’t get involved in Friday’s antics or the afterparty on the Saturday after the pub visits, but it was still great to meet both familiar and new faces. I used the meet as an opportunity to visit a...

    Report - Flitcham Hall Pump House (Old & New), Norfolk - August 2024

    Introduction Life has got in the way recently so I haven’t been doing much exploring this summer, so I haven’t been on full form. I’m hoping I will now have some more time to get some more bits done over the next few months. This was one of a couple of sites I checked out up in North Norfolk...

    Report - Valley Brook Pump House, Cheshire - December 2023

    Introduction Back in December between Christmas and New Year, myself and @JakeV50 embarked on a 4-day trip where we did some places in Manchester, Cheshire, Lincolnshire amongst others. It turned out to be fairly unsuccessful, with the only noteworthy places being Fletchers and this lovely...

    Report - Earith Pumping Station (No. 1), Cambridgeshire - September 2023

    Introduction Originally reported by @JakeV50 last year, it is not the best condition station by any means, but it’s set up a bit differently compared to most I have visited. Information & History This Pumping Station appears to work alongside some other stations nearby which is evident from the...

    Report - Acle Bridge Pump House, Norfolk - May 2024

    Introduction A short and sweet one on this occasion. Usually, I would reserve these smaller stations for the photo thread but as it hasn’t been documented in detail with photos online, I feel it is still worthy of a full report. Information & History The Norfolk Broads is a low-lying area of...

    Report - Grimsthorpe Engine House & Cumberland Field Wind Pump, Lincolnshire - November 2023

    Report - Lister Pump House, Tasburgh, Norfolk - February 2024

    Introduction Another nice little pump house found by the so-called 'pump people' duo :D . It’s a fairly trivial one but it hasn’t been documented at all online so thought it would still be worthy posting it, rather than just leaving the photos on my computer for no one to ever see. Information...

    Report - Moneystone Quarry Pump House, Staffordshire - December 2023

    Introduction After seeing @mingerocket's post on this site a couple of years ago, I decided to take a look myself while in the area. I’ve always liked the look of it with the electric motors and pumps being in great condition, and I like the pipes coming out of it going into the river...

    Report - Old Plantation Pumping Station, Cambridgeshire - November 2023

    Introduction Another old Fenland pumping station I have been meaning to visit for quite some time now but I never got around to doing it. Finally decided to visit and commit to the long walk to get to it, turns out the walk wasn’t quite as long as I thought it would be. Information & History...

    Report - Booter's Hall Pump House, Norfolk - November 2023

    Introduction Another gem hidden away in the depths of the Norfolk countryside discovered whilst trawling through both old and modern maps. Being only a 40-minute drive away, I decided to head off to see what I could find, and it’s certainly a nice one with lots of see! Visited with @JakeV50...

    Report - Bradwell Springs Pumping Station, Essex - November 2023

    Introduction Me and @Wastelandr recently met up to cover a couple of places in Essex, this one was initially seen as a bit of a filler location thinking it would be sealed or empty but to our surprise, it had some nice old equipment within, in addition to old paperwork amongst other nice little...

    Report - Oxborough Pumping Station, Norfolk - October 2023

    Introduction I had a few days off work so this week I decided to embark on another pump adventure heading towards The Fens. Unfortunately, like many recent visits, I didn’t have much luck. I’ve been keen to try the Oxborough station for a while now as it has been on my radar for years, even...

    Report - Apethorpe Pumping Station, Northamptonshire - July 2023

    Introduction Another lovely little pumping station I’ve now visited twice. Wasn’t happy with my first lot of pics due to the glaring sun so went back with @JakeV50 last month to reshoot as we were in the area. Information & History I’ve found it very difficult to pull any sort of historical...

    Report - Southery Pumping Station, Norfolk - July 2023

    Introduction This is one of the first pumping stations me and @JakeV50 checked out on our various trips up to Fenland to discover these little industrial gems.

    Report - Lower Padnal Pumping Station, Cambridgeshire - May 2023

    Report - Purl's Bridge Pumping Station, Cambridgeshire - June 2023

    Introduction You know the drill, me and @JakeV50 set off to try and cover some more of the old pump houses around Fenland. This day was a bit of a failure as we visited quite a lot of empty/inaccessible ones, but this one was definitely a highlight. In fact, this was my favourite find so far...

    Report - Black Mill Drainage Pump, Norfolk - June 2023

    Introduction Me and @JakeV50 spotted a chimney next to an active pumping station on the Norfolk Broads on satellite imagery, as it is fairly local to us we decided to take a look a few weekends ago. It didn’t end up being the most exciting place, but there were some interesting remains and a bit...

    Report - Lake Farm Pumping Station, West Norfolk - June 2023

    Introduction Continuing our hunt for old pumping stations around the washes in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire, me and @V50jake went to check out this and a few other sites last weekend.

    Report - Pilkington Glass Sandwash Plant, St. Helens - May 2023

    Introduction I saw a few reports on this place in the past, and although it’s effectively a rusting heap, I thought it looked quite picturesque and I liked the remains of machinery, so I decided to drag @V50jake along to this one on our recent trip to Merseyside. Information & History This...
