The entrance was open today but not much seemed to be going on. Apparently an entrepreneur bought it in 2001 and received an English Heritage grant to help refurbish the building and turn it into 'The Famous Old Pump House' restaurant and pub, as indicated on the decaying board at the entrance. Much was renovated, but the money appears to have ran out. A recent incursion http://www.derelicte.co.uk/dalton-pumping-station shows that a lot of the original machinery is still in place
