One of the few remaining water pumps that were dotted around London in the 19th Century.
Seen whilst in a rush to get somewhere else, I took a short-cut and there it was!
The pumping station Lely is an electrically driven pumping station in 1930 and is still used to keep the Wieringermeer dry. The building was designed by Dirk Roosenburg.
I don't know what a "pump house" is, but this is one at the start of the Cliff Walk. The fence was a bonus. HFF!
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

Our local mountains had their first snowfall of the season. I managed to escape work for the afternoon and visited Seymour.
The ski runs only have a foot of snow. Above them, I followed the regular trail until Pump Peak. Here I wandered around in the fresh stuff. No snowshoes, but only sinking up to my knees in the deeper spots.
During the winter these trees are thick with snow and ice. It was a nice variation to have them only mostly covered. A happy hour was spent making the only footsteps and trying out different compositions. The sweet late-afternoon light was a pleasant bonus! I can relate to children who enjoy playing in the same school playground day after day. Roaming Seymour in the winter never gets boring for me. It's my outdoor amusement park.
Henry Curry built the Grade II-listed Pump Room for the 7th Duke of Devonshire in 1894 due to overcrowding at the previous well in the Natural Baths. It was last used to “take the waters” in the 1970s.
The Pump Room now houses the Buxton visitor centre.
Happy Bench Monday! And, Happy 4th to my US Flickr friends! This nice old bench (one of 2) and very cool old gas pump are on the porch of what I think is an antique auto dealer in Mount Crawford (population 433). Virginia.
I took this photo last January, but always hoped for a better shot, with better light. Sadly, this is a shot that can no longer be taken due to the horrible wire fence in front of it.
