Middle Drain Pumping Station

[spawney]

Had a visit to this pumping station that I had spotted a few weeks ago. I don't know any history of the place, the only info I can find about this place is to do with sea fishing as it's quite a popular place for anglers. Anyway here's the photo's.

Like I was bothered about that

That's a really interesting site, spawney. Love all the machinery...especially love the colour blue some of it's been painted. Good stuff.

Ooh, I know someone on the forum who might like that!

A nice little explore by the looks of it -crazy place to have those ceiling tiles -they seem to appear everywhere!!!
Great last few shots of the surrounding area.

Groovy.

Like the danger sign. Surly the dangers associated with drowning, falls and electrocution, are drowning, falling and electrocution!

I love heavy electrical gear like that. Very nice gantry too. And the outdoor photos with that smoke blowing from the chimlas is mental!
