Now Severn Trent but was Wolverhampton Corporation when built. This contained Hathorn, Davey differential steam pumping engines. The chimney base still stands. I first saw this from a bus a quarter of a century ago when it was alongside the main road. It is now in a bypassed loop and is a very quiet and peaceful place.
