The old engine house, Tardebigge, Worcestershire
I think you would call it a crisp, cold day yesterday, plenty of frost still evident at 2.00pm, and ice on puddles as we walked along the Birmingham and Worcester Canal near Tardebigge in Worcestershire. Only one boat in evidence, but quite a few walkers in the winter sunshine.
According to Wikipedia:-
'Tardebigge Engine House (grid reference SO988689) is a former canal-pumping engine house at Tardebigge, Worcestershire, England. It is grade II listed.
It stands near lock 57 (one lock below the top lock, 58) of the Tardebigge Locks on the Worcester and Birmingham Canal and contained a steam-powered Newcomen-Watt beam engine, which was removed in 1915. It was used to pump water from the adjacent Tardebigge feeder reservoir, which is about 50 ft (15.2 m) below the level of the top pound of the canal.
The building was converted into luxury apartments in 2012.'
