Water pumping station, Halesowen.

Hey guys. Prior to our visit out to Wolves, we stopped off at this little gem....

Not much there, but a nice atmoshphere. It's a strange place tho, as it's almost in someone's back garden, so the sound of the dogs barking kept us on our toes a bit!!!!










Looks like the old water pump could still be used, as it didn't look in that that bad condition!!












Tried not to spend too much time here, as we wanted to see LOTS in Wolves. Nice to have done it, but not too fussed about seeing it again.

Oooh, I like that! I can see what you mean about the atmosphere. Looks a nice little explore...lovely photos too. Really like the interior shot with the windows.

Cheers

Another interesting find matey -well done
Nice to see a relatively clean place -couldn't see any grafitti.

Looks like a nice little place, the water pump looks in great condition, like the dials etc. Could you go underneath the pumping stuff and is there anything still there?

Cheers,

Sal

Not sure to be honest. The covers were all padlocked down so no access was available to the tunnels underneath. The buildings are pretty small, and to be fair, a bit boring. The first building was the most interesting, but most of it now looks like storage. Still wouldn't mind a look, but you'd only spend an hour there at the most.

Must start doing more explorin. i went over to an old airfield in Rutland yesterday but an instant river had sprung up and I couldnt get to where I wanted to .
If ur ever up Elmdon, virusman, pop in.

We'll have to do a meet up with a few peeps in brum. The old C Brandauer & Co Ltd. factory is an amazing looking place. Some wannabie yerdie has setup a carwash in front of the building tho, so if you want in, some sweet talking is required...............Certainly as there's a cop shop next door, so if he lets you in, you may have some un-welcome friends!!!
