Whilst up at Cherry Knowle Hospital the other weekend, I noticed a rather tall chimney on the skyline nearby. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a rather nice Pumping Station, now disused, and it looks like they are doing the place up. There are two ornamental lakes either side of the building, perhaps "balancing ponds"? Hoping it'll be open to the Public once the refurbishment works are complete! 
Had a good look around the outside.
