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

    Introduction Me and @JakeV50 headed out to Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire to look at some more pump houses. Unfortunately, the day was full of disappointments once again but we did come across a couple of nice surprises. This report covers an Engine House which I found on old OS maps, and a pump...

    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 - 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 - 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. This is one I found on satellite imagery. It looks quite small on satellite imagery but was actually really nice...

    Report - Anglian Water Pumping Station, Drayton Parslow, Buckinghamshire - May 2023

    Introduction Me and @V50jake went on a recent trip to Buckinghamshire to look at a few pump houses and other places that we eventually managed to find.

    Report - Hunger Hill Pumping Station, Derbyshire: Jan 2022

    Hunger Hill Pumping Station While visiting the Peak District for a birthday treat, I decided to knock off a few pins I've had marked for a while, one of which was Hunger Hill Pumping Station. Situated just west of Chesterfield, this old pumping station was constructed around the early 1920s...

    For this explore, I took along my eldest son, and I met up with @FalloutShelter , I had been previously but not seen much. So eager to return, off we went. We started at the Air raid shelters and made our way round to the mould boring shop, this is where it got interesting. After finding a...

    Report - Operation Pluto Pump Station - Buckinghamshire

    This is one of the pumping stations for Operation Pluto built in 1944 to supply oil and fuel to the UK military across the Channel. I came across this site while out cycling, but only actually found one of the smaller buildings, possibly an office, and a generator room. After having a look on...

    Report - Pumping station(?) in Oxfordshire

    MORE OF A MINI-REPORT. I ended up here by accident- I was supposed to be at a quarry that got knocked down (I posted about it as "The One That Got Away") :) My friend saved the day by directing me to another abandoned site in Oxfordshire. It's completely hidden from the road and I wouldn't have...
