Herringfleet Mill built in 1820 is a smock mill and was used to pump water from the surrounding marshland.
It is in disrepair at the moment but there is work planned to replace the two missing sails.
This pump is laying in the yard that used to be my Great Grandpas house The only unbroken glass is the one laying against the ground.
The orphans at Luchenza Orphanage learn to use the water pump at an early age. Clean water is vital for health. Thanks to donations from the UK the Orphanage has a clean mains water supply to drink.
Friendship, NY
This building was built specifically to house a new Steam Pumper for the town's Fire Dept. during the oil boom days.
The building has been modified to accommodate an ambulance, so the original arched door that matched the windows was replaced with this nasty modern square thing. The building is still wonderful though.
The town stills owns the original pumper, which still works and is hauled out once a year to spray water into the air. The pumper is also still registered as operational fire fighting apparatus.
P.S. In Charleston, there are still many pumper stalls, complete with grooved thresholds to give the horses traction as they hurried out of the building with such a load. Several of these buildings are haunted. It's true, though I'm not sure if by horses or people. This is a growing problem, as the U.S. population migrates southward, so do the ghosts from the upper mid-west and the northeast. Charleston is experiencing a mixture of nocturnal paranormal accents as yankee poltergeists mingle with their southern counterparts.
It is said that the ghost that once haunted this Friendship, NY building is now wreaking havoc with weary firemen in Charleston, but that has not been confirmed.
Taken while on a walk around Siuthwold harbour in Suffolk. If you walk away from the coast following the river Blyth you eventually come to a walkway bridge and just a bit further on is this structure. Don't really know its history but it appears to be an old drainage pump. Not the prettiest focal point for a comp but I think it works overall.

This is a 2 Pump Retained Station, Northumberland Fire & Rescue Service
It is no wonder this has a preservation order on it, the opulence of the inside of this pumping station has to be seen to be believed. It is many years since I last went and these photos were taken in 2009 with my Nikon D300
These beams engines worked for 85 years and ceased regular operation in 1969, when electric pumps were fitted in the pilot well near the main gate. These automatic electric pumps saved the manpower required to stoke three of the 6 Lancashire boilers that feed steam to the two beam engines.
After the preservation group took over the upkeep of the station in 1974 and by 1975 Papplewick was opened to allow the public to view this fine water works, along with a growing number of other steam-powered engines that have come from other local sites. These include the Linby Colliery Winding Engine and the Stanton Triple Expansion Engine.
Other Waterworks in the Nottinghamshire area only survive as preserved buildings without any of the original steam-powered pumping equipment.
As seen at Wirral Transport Museum. This immediately took me back to my Rochdale childhood on the mid 1960's because I recall petrol pumps like this where my old Dad always bought his petrol for our Morris Traveller. I think the garage was in Water Street but I could be wrong. He worked just around the corner from there in Drake Street managing the Town's Thomas Cook travel agency. I used to love watching the dials go around on the old pumps.

Well not quite... Under the pier that supports the pipes (top right) carrying sand and seawater that is pumped from the south side of the Tweed River (here) up to the north or Gold Coast side. The purpose is to replenish the northern drift of sand impeded by the rock walls (groynes) which keep the Tweed River mouth navigable. The supply of sand is vital to the maintenance of the Gold Coast surf beaches.
The pipe on the left is disused. But what a superb afternoon it was!

The Beam Engine House at Crossness Pumping Station, Belvedere. Built by Sir Joseph Bazalgette and opened in 1865. This fine piece of Victorian architecture was once nicknamed "The Cathedral on The Marshes", and was one of the first sewerage pumping stations to operate in London..in conjuntion with its close neighbour opposite, on the north of the Thames at Beckton. These stations would collect sewage from the whole of London, and store in on-site reservoirs to be pumped directly into the Thames at its outgoing ebb tide, and onwards to the sea. Thank god this does'nt still happen today..although at this time was a much needed operation to combat London's sewage problem, and the health effects it caused. Joseph also lead the building of 850 miles of large bore sewer pipes, linking the basic system of 'direct to river' outfall, this new system would carry sewage away from London and onward to Beckton and Crossness, and still exists below us today!!
Interior view of the vast complex of the F.E. Myers Pump Company in Ashland, Ohio. At one time it was the largest manufacturer of pumps and hay making tools in the United States. This is the last photo in a series on the Myers Pump Company.
One sees many of these wind pumps in the Overberg region, between Robertson and Stanford, in the Western Cape. Finding three of them together was a bonus…
Have a great weekend, everyone. 😊
HFF!

Yet another version of this old service station whose pumps are gone. If you think you recognize it, it's because you have seen a different shot of it awhile back.
My goal with this series is to explore every day scenes under the cover of darkness. A street corner, a lamp post, a doorway. Big city, small town, urban, rural. Man-made light versus nature’s darkness–––light and shadow interpreting minimalist settings in black and white. To see more in this series, check out Cover Of Darkness.
Early on in the COVER OF NIGHT series, I shot a couple gas stations. They were not initially the type scene I was looking to capture, but when I came across one late at night, bright and isolated in the darkness, it was impossible for me to resist, so I continue to shoot them. I have now shot enough that they have become a series-within-the-series. For a look at them as a collection, check out, Gas Stations

I drove by this place for many years. It's out in the country not near any town. It has not been inhabited for a long time. I posted this on Facebook and learned that it was once an old schoolhouse. Really neat place.
