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?
The twin Beam Engines at Papplewick Pumping Station, in full steam. The sight, sound, and even the smell; a true "sensory delight"!

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!).

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.
