Vern Oaks Pump House

Not a massive amount to say about this one but I really liked it! Visited with @dansgas1000

Nestled in some woodland right in the heart of England, this tiny pump was a big surprise!
The building itself is of brick construction with a wooden roof covered in slate, most of which is now inside of the building as its collapsed. Luckily the double ram pump is in good condition. There is also a smaller, more modern pump which was situated just besides the older pump. There is a boiler like item on the outside of the building, I’m assuming this was once inside and part of the steam engine used to drive the ram pumps.

There’s a tiny stream running besides the pump house. The woods it's in also had some beautiful bluebells springing up which made for lovely photographs.

Beautiful set. I particularly like photos 1 & 6 and the detail shots of the bluebells and fungi are fantastic! It was a nice visit but I bet you wished you took your wellies in the end :rofl

Wellies were definitely required. At least you didn't fall over at this one
