Benches on Hallam New Road
Looking at the frame in front of these benches this was some sort of commemorative event now defaced.

Boughton Pumping Station
This drive was originally the main access to the pumping station, and still provides access to the minor pump house, still in use for pumping water.

Boughton Pumping Station
This was the "back-up" plant and comprised a Hathorn, Davey tandem compound "differential" engine, an inverted vertical triple expansion pumping engine and boilers. This is on the operational site and can no longer be approached.

Boughton Pumping Station
This is the smaller 'standby station' that had a Hathorn, Davey horizontal tandem compound 'differential' pump and an inverted vertical triple expansion pump. Beyond can be glimpsed the huge pumping station that housed a pair of triple expansion engines with horizontal high pressure cylinders and inverted vertical intermediate and low pressure cylinders. These were built by Ashton, Frost of Blackburn and scrapped in the 1970s.

Boughton Pumping Station
Part of Nottingham's water supply. Has now been sold off but the chimney and magnificent buildings survive. A fine example of civic architecture, as are all the Nottingham stations.

Boughton Pumping Station
The gate was open and we helped ourselves on a Sunday afternoon.
This was the huge building with two Ashton, Frost combined horizontal/vertical triple expansion pumping engines operating well and force pumps. I was with the late George Cooper and the first time he visited was just as the scrapmen were finishing up on those lovely engines. They were burning waste in the boilers, producing smoke and false hopes.

Boughton Pumping Station
This is part of the facade of the main engine house that held a pair of Ashton, Frost triple expansion engines with both horizontal (HP) and inverted vertical cylinders (IP and LP). These were scrapped in the 1970s. The green beam is (I think) part of the support structure for the well pump bell-crank assembly.
A modern fence prevents a view from further away and without a fish-eye this was the best I could do.
