Papplewick Pumping Station - live well
The grey covers are over the original pilot well of 1882 that was sunk 190' into the Bunter sandstone to establish that there was sufficient water to justify building the main pumping station with its two wells. The pilot well was pumped by a Hathorn, Davey horizontal tandem compound non-rotative 'differential' engine. This was later relocated to Boughton Pumping Station.
The pilot well was abandoned but was recommissioned when the steam plant stopped pumping in 1969. The well now contains four submersible pumps that are computer controlled from Leicester and pump up to 900,000 gallons per day. An adjoining brick building contains switch gear and booster pumps.

What the heck - Papplewick Pumping Station
Although I could taunt you all with these mysterious objects - I'm sure some of you know they are colliery winder brake or reverse engines, steam powered and hydraulic (water) damped. The brake and reverse engines were identical so these could be either or both. The valve blocks and control rods are missing. I don't know their provenance but there were several possible donor sites within 15 miles.
