New Spring Waterworks revisited (1)
To be found beside the A1, south of Biggleswade.
An inscription - up in the gable - reads 'B.W.B 1906'.
I haven't seen the latest edition of 'The Buildings of England' for this area, but old Prof. Pevsner didn't seem to know of this building - it's not included in his 1968 volume. I feel sure he'd have had plenty to say about it - though he might well have complained that it gave him bad dreams.
I've already had my say - at the time of my brief visit in 2012: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2998399

New Spring Waterworks, near Edworth (5)
Another view of the main entrance. Pretty forbidding, despite the modest scale.

New Spring Waterworks, near Edworth (3): the main entrance
There is something forbidding and dungeon-like about this building. At first glance the design might seem functional, but look more closely at the stonework of the fence-pillar in the foreground - there is nothing haphazard about the detail, it's quite stylishly done, and the style belongs to the early 1900's.
Has this place ever been used as a film location? Remove the water company signs and the aerials, and it's got loads of potential . . .
