The Albion Foundation on Brasshouse Lane. Looking like a closed pub I think this is West Bromwich Albion's Foundation School.

Smethwick New Pump House - boiler
This building was erected in 1892 with a pair of Drysdale compound engines driving centrifugal pumps. It pumped between the New Main Line and Old Main Lines to replace water lost by lockage. It replaced the old pumping station and its beam engines, one of which was a Boulton & Watt engine of 1779. The pump house was derelict but Sandwell Council restored the building, rebuilt the chimney and installed a Tangye pumping engine along with one and a bit boilers. This is the complete boiler and although it is never going to work the installation is quite convincing.

New Smethwick Pumping Station - Brasshouse Lane
The pumping station opened in 1892 to lift water from Telford's New Main Line to the higher Old Main Line to restore water lost from operation of the Spon Lane and Smethwick Locks. The station which replaced two Boulton and Watt pumping engines also became redundant as canal usage reduced in the 1920s.
