Bratch pumping station, next to the Staffordshire and Worcester canal near Wombourne. taken through trees as it was closed that day.
Completed in 1895 by Bilston Urban District Council after a dispute with the Wolverhampton Corporation over the cost of its water supply.
Imagine if buildings were built like this these days!

Today's photo: Sarphatipark (1891). The pumping station, built in Swiss chalet style. The park is about 2 meters below sea level, below the surrounding neighbourhood, so a dedicated pumping station was required to keep the park dry. The station is still in use. The original steam engine has been replaced by an electric pump.
