The Severn Railway Tunnel runs beneath this village. There is the constant need to pump water from it, and this is done here. This old railway, relic of the building of the tunnel, runs parallel to the main street of the village. It is crossed a couple of times by link roads, for example to the Post Office just out of view on the right. They were hand-operated gates - hence this sign.
