Papplewick Pumping Station

Set in the tranquil Nottinghamshire countryside and regarded as the finest surviving Victorian water pumping station in England, Papplewick Pumping Station is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument and continues today as a museum and hub for water education activities. Built in Gothic Revival style architecture, Papplewick is unique in retaining all of its original features including its six hand fired Lancashire boilers and two James Watt beam engines that once lifted fresh water 200 feet out of the ground for the people of Nottingham. Also at the museum is the only surviving steam powered Robey winding engine formerly of Linby Colliery, a miniature passenger steam railway, a café and a brick vaulted underground reservoir which can be toured on steaming days.
