Abandoned pump station. In it's day it supplied water to the city of Fayetteville. Now, water is supplied from Beaver Lake and the old pump station is abandoned. There is a nice put in for kayaks nearby.
The pump house behind the concrete seating and the sea running wild .
Like the idea of going out there to check the door .

Former Pump House that provided hydraulic pressure for lifts and cranes at the nearby Tobacco and Stanley wharehouses, a recent go ahead has been authorised for conversion into a mega restaurant, not a bad idea considering the Everton Football Club new stadium is taking shape just across the road, on the site of the old Bramley Moore Dock,.....much custom on match days!?.

I love getting all dressed up for work but I just can't make up my mind whether to wear pumps or boots. What do you think I should wear to the office?
(description from Wikipedia)
The Leawood Pump House was built near Cromford, Derbyshire, England in 1849 to supply water to the Cromford Canal, built some 50 years previously. It is a Grade II* listed building.
Located a little along the canal towpath from High Peak Junction, it stands to a height of 45 feet (14 m) on the right bank of the River Derwent, at the end of the Derwent Aqueduct, and has a 95-foot (29 m) chimney stack with a cast-iron cap.
The Watt-type beam engine was designed and erected by Graham and Company of Milton Works, Elsecar, Sheffield. The beam length is 33 feet (10 m), the piston diameter 50 inches (1.3 m), stroke of 10 feet (3.0 m) and the engine works at 7 strokes per minute. The boilers, replaced in 1900, have a pressure of 40 p.s.i.
Water is drawn from the River Derwent through a 150-yard (140 m) tunnel to a reservoir in the basement. It is then lifted 30 feet (9.1 m) and discharged into the canal.
The immense size of the pump (which can transfer almost four tons of water per stroke and seven strokes a minute, a total of over 39,000 tons of water per 24 hours) is explained by the fact that there were restrictions on removing water from the Derwent river, this being allowed only between 8 p.m. on Saturdays and 8 p.m. on Sundays.
The pumphouse worked continuously from 1849 until 1944 when the canal closed. It was restored in 1979 by the Cromford Canal Society and is run periodically.
The twin Beam Engines at Papplewick Pumping Station, in full steam. The sight, sound, and even the smell; a true "sensory delight"!
Water was flowing in to the River Adur from the Pumping Station. I guess triggered - with a delay - by the recent rain.
Esso gas pump at abandoned Bob & Bob Speleo General Store, Sink's Grove, WV. The store t one time was the world's largest outfitter for caving supplies.
Taken at a local pond. The water pump doesn't work now but it used to. Clouds blurred using a 10 stop nd filter and then stylised in Photoshop

About this photo:
This is the pump house for a pool. I think the building is cute...it's the red door.
About the process:
The sky was overly green, so I adjusted the colors slightly and gave them an over all boost. I also added a high-pass filter.

Before the arrival of a piped water supply in 1864, local households were dependent for their supply of water on pumps and wells. The first pump on the site of the Market Place next to Guildhall, provided by a local benefactor in 1635, was replaced by the present elaborate cow tailed pump in 1855.
"With the introduction of steam power, it became possible to quickly and reliably drain the great swamps of the area. A series of pumping stations was placed along the dykes surrounding these swamps, and proved highly effective for the job..."
As a person from the Netherlands, one cannot fail to notice that our land sometimes needs a hand to stay dry... Ever since I visited some of our older facilities for that job, I wanted to build them in LEGO. So here you go ;)
It has an interior, featuring machines. Sadly, the setup makes it all but impossible to get some decent pictures done (doh!).
Abbey Pumping Station museum comprises collections of industrial, technological and scientific items relating to Leicester. The pump house has four working examples of Woolf compound rotative beam engines made by Gimsons, a Leicester engineering business started by brothers Josiah and Benjamin Gimson in 1842.

This old hand pumper was captured in historic Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Until the mid-19th century, most fires were fought by water transported to the scene in buckets. Original hand pumpers discharged their water through a small pipe or monitor attached to the top of the pump tub.[1] It was not until the late 1860s that hoses became widely available to convey water more easily from the hand pumps, and later steam pumpers, to the fire.
