Summary

edit
Description
English: Waddon Pumping Station. These were the last reciprocating steam waterworks pumps in the UK and were formally retired in 1983. The station contained a pair of horizontal cross copmound engines with slide valve cylinders. The piston tail rods drove well pumps on one side (low pressure) and a double acting force pump on the other side (high pressure). One engine was 1910 by James Simpson & Co and the other 1920 by Worthington-Simpson Ltd. Both survive off site. The building is seen here - 452319.
