I revisited this place shortly after my first report.This is what it looks like now. Another member told me the history: ''Built in 1926 as an electrically powered sewage pumping station. Instead of dumping the sewage directly into the River Don, It was pumped to the sewage treatment plant near...

There is an old sewage pumping station in Doncaster, not far from the College. I don't know anything about the history of the place as I couldn't find anything about it. It is accessible by the college fence. You can see the college in the background of some of my shots.
