South Staffordshire Water Co pumping station built 1907 to house a pair of horizontal tandem compound rotative pumping engines, one by Hathorn, Davey of Leeds and the other by Ashton, Frost of Blackburn.. The engines are long gone. The building was for many years ivy-clad and I hadn't noticed that it was gone until I downloaded.
