West India Dock Impounding Station
The Impounding Station was built in 1929 and is used to regulate water levels between the West India and Millwall Docks. The impounding station is the only source of water to West India Docks, outside the tidal run in, and it is in daily use. The Impounding Station is home to three pumps which provide the means for taking water from the River Thames and pumping it into the dock. The pumps are still the original ones installed 85 years ago and are capable of pumping up to 9 cubic metres of water per second. As an illustration of the rate at which the pumps operate, they would fill an Olympic size swimming pool in 9 minutes, and pumps around 4 million tonnes of water each year. The intake pipes draw water from a sump beneath the Impounding Station Building. The outfall pipes pass beneath Marsh Wall Road and their discharge is submerged within the Dock. Trash screens operate whenever the pump is running to protect the pump from debris entering from the river. Debris is discharged into a conveyor belt that empties into a skip. The Canal & River Trust has carried out automation and repairs to the pumps in the Impounding Station in Docklands over the last 12 months. This enables the pump to be operated remotely, although local operation can also be carried out.

A traditional bridge takes Redhills Road over the Caldon Canal in the background whilst a more modern structure carries a utility's pipework in the foreground.
Cover pipework - some of which was uncovered by some previous plumbers; other parts are new pipe which also needs covering. I need a hatch or something to ensure that I can get to the stopcock. This probably needs doing in wood and plasterboard first, then plastering over.
Foundations of gents toilets at Broadway station, Worcestershire.
The GWR are in the process of extending their heritage line up to Broadway and dug out the foundations of the old station earlier this year.
Some of the original pipework is visible in the bottom left hand corner and the new platform can be seen taking shape in the background.

The old tap leaked and was hard plumbed in - the plumber has put in new plumbing so it's easy to change taps in future
Gas pipework ready to burn down the village - presumably at the end of filming. Hope there are no wildlife nesting here.....
