Fantastic piece of history. Needs to be preserved. You should visit and support it.
Lived just around the corner from here in our second LIchfield home. Had no idea just how histroically important it was until I went to visit a few months ago.
This was once a vital part of the fresh water infrastructure to the region, pumping water out to the polluted areas of the Black Country. The powerful beam engine is seriously impressive (as seen in the photos) and the rest of the building is under the care of a volunteer team who are working against the odds to preserve a wonderful piece of industrial heritage.
The building is at semi-permanent risk due to ownership of land by a property company and access is limited to specific working days.
You should seriously contact them and take a look. They are a hugely enthusiastic group.
Earily beautiful place great for photography ect
The Black Country’s best kept secret and most important historic piece of industrial heritage. Grade II* listed building and unique Cornish beam engine that was built in Tipton.
At the moment very intact, but it’s future hangs in the balance. The Lichfield Waterworks Trust are working hard to save this cathedral to industry.
Went in during the open day. A great piece of history but it is quite sore eye when persimmon development not doing anything about it for 10 over years since they bought the land to build sandfield development. Shame on persimmon development.
