Papplewick Pumping Station
Papplewick Pumping Station, Steam-powered pumping station museum in Papplewick, England.
The ornate Gothic Revival building houses two beam engines and six Lancashire boilers within its red brick walls and decorative stonework details.
The station, built between 1881 and 1884, supplied fresh water to Nottingham when the city experienced substantial industrial growth during the Victorian era.
The Papplewick Pumping Station Trust maintains the machinery in working condition, demonstrating steam power operations during regular public demonstration events.
The station opens on Wednesdays and Sundays from April to October, with guided tours available and special rates for groups of 15 or more visitors.
The underground reservoir tours allow visitors to explore Victorian water engineering through tunnels that reach depths of over 200 feet.
