Report - Buxton council water works 09 / 24

Built in 1957, it's purpose was to service the Stanley moor Reservoir!

Sadly there were serious leaks due to it's position over a fault line and it had to be decommissioned! So this pump house became redundant.

I came across this two years ago after going to photograph something else nearby, I'd tried repeatedly to find a way in; it is quite a drive for me but one thing with Urbex - persistence can pay off! Some places took years but today, luck was on my side. And it didn't disappoint!

place is quite atmospheric and makes for a decent wander with the camera, nice work

I've never known the rear window to be boarded up properly.
The building next to it is in use as a storage building so very rarely you'll see someone there, went in it once and heating was on full.
I enquired to buy this place to turn it into a residential place like the one further along but they wouldn't sell it due to using the other building.

Nice to see it again now that im over 4 hiurs away, it was where I always took people first that were interested in urbex to see if it was their thing (then taxal lodge 2nd lol).
