The Water Filter Station was built in 1913 to purify water from Strines, Dale Dike and Agden reservoirs. It closed in 1995 when a new water treatment works was built nearby in the Loxley Valley.

It now stands dilapidated and surrounded by hideous herras fencing which serves no purpose whatsoever as far as security is concerned.

It has a nice classical facade.

This is my second visit here, and almost 12mths apart. The graff seems to constantly change and
It's really had a battering since my last mooch. It now has some really bad and mindless tagging, but the more discerning artists however deserve some credit for their talents. Some of the superb art from my 1st visit has sadly been defaced or disappeared altogether.

I love this place. Such a nice relaxed environment to be in. I hope you enjoy.

Peeling paint and natural decay..... Such joy.

I really liked it here, the graffitti is great, glad to see its not changed much. The same guy who owns this owns Loxley Chapel, nearby brickworks and Thornseat Lodge amongst countless other places. Strange guy, he just lets them just fall down. Cracking stuff fella

Yeah....I had heard about this dude :lol: With this site being a prominent feature within the conservation area, and having architectural interest, it seems the council require at least some headway as to what the guy intends to do with it.
 
Love it, some really lovely photos there! That art is crazy! You don't see muck like that in the UK!
Cheers for sharing :)
 
Some of that Graffiti is superb, shame less talented yobs have defaced it.
Quite unlike any other water treatment plant I have seen (and I surveyed a lot a few years ago).
 
OOO yes i like this place....ur shots really show off its fab artwork:)

nice warm light too, perfect....like the way some silverbirch saplings have sprouted up in a neat little straight line in one of ur shots, there must have been just enough of a strip of earth for them to take hold:)

Thanks for sharin ur mooch:)
