Slitting Mill Pumping Station iii Mar 2010

A closer look at the main entrance to this delightful, stylish pumping station, in woodland in a small village close to Rugeley and Hednesford {'hensford'}, both former coal mining towns. The nearby Museum of Cannock Chase is an excellent way to while away a couple of hours - especially if the weather is manky! We went in a prolonged downpour of rain another time!

N.B. A slitting mill cut iron bars into thin rods from which nails were made.
