This is the one that Skydiver et al. pumped out way back in 2008 as it was completely flooded. It was pretty cool at the time to be fair!

Do you know from whom they sought permission to access it?

No. I had a quick look at the threads from 2008, but there doesn’t appear to be any mention of who owns it.

I have a vague memory that it might be in a pub car park, and that they asked the landlord if they could pump it out, but I can’t be arsed to Google it!

In fact yes it definitely belongs to the pub: Report - - Hyde ROC Post - Cheshire Group - 23/12/08 - pumping! | ROC Posts

Wow - just reread that report. Completely forgot about this happening back in the day! FSM Cam was cool too - think only a few of them got done.

There was discussion of a further restoration following the pumping, does anybody know more about this, why it wasn't taken further?

prob because there is no revenue in doing so.
There are a few restored ones but this is normally at someone's personal expense.
Our local one in Kettering that was fully restored has been forced to close & sell off all the items as the landowner has decided its worth more as land.

I have vague recollection of the thread above having replies where they went back a few weeks later and it had started flooding again so seemed like a lost cause

FSM cam trick 10-15 years ago produced some blinding results of some posts that litterally hadn’t been unlocked since 1991 closure - one explorer in particular found 5 Teletalks and a BPI left in situ
