Today we went to the "Artisan Fair & Steam Event" #Papplewick #PumpingStation in #Ravenshead near #Nottingham (https://papplewickpumpingstation.org.uk/).
They were running the steam engine, there were 3 traction engines (various scales!), and you could have a tour round the brick-lined, vaulted-ceiling water storage structure, which sadly stopped being used in 1906 when a crack was found in one of the walls.

Working scale model of a traction engine.
The current owner bought it second-hand and spent a long time stripping it down, fixing it, and repainting it.
It looked amazing, but cost around £30,000!! Not sure if that is before or after the renovation.

"G Saint & Family Papplewick Notts" traction engine.
The engine is idling, with steam coming out of the chimney.
The engine itself is painted a dark red, with a black roof.

The same engine, with a closeup of a copper kettle that has been plumbed into the engine to provide hot water.
The handle is still attached, but it pretty useless, as the kettle is unmovable! There is a little tap on the side at the bottom to access the hot water.

A picture showing the underground water storage structure with amazing vaulted-ceilings, that was used from the 1880 until 1906, when a crack was found in one of the walls, although a reason was never recorded, could have been due to subsidence.
Apparently it holds about 1.5m gallons.

The acoustics were amazing!
Sometimes choirs go to perform down here.

Bratch pumping station, next to the Staffordshire and Worcester canal near Wombourne. taken through trees as it was closed that day.
Completed in 1895 by Bilston Urban District Council after a dispute with the Wolverhampton Corporation over the cost of its water supply.
Imagine if buildings were built like this these days!

Today's photo: Sarphatipark (1891). The pumping station, built in Swiss chalet style. The park is about 2 meters below sea level, below the surrounding neighbourhood, so a dedicated pumping station was required to keep the park dry. The station is still in use. The original steam engine has been replaced by an electric pump.
