Today we went to the "Artisan Fair & Steam Event" #Papplewick #PumpingStation in #Ravenshead near #Nottingham (https://papplewickpumpingstation.org.uk/).
They were running the steam engine, there were 3 traction engines (various scales!), and you could have a tour round the brick-lined, vaulted-ceiling water storage structure, which sadly stopped being used in 1906 when a crack was found in one of the walls.

Spent the day at the #Steampunk weekend at #Papplewick pumping station (pics of individuals posted with their permission). All the engines were steaming, including the giant beam engines. https://www.papplewickpumpingstation.org.uk/
