Buxton council water works 0924

Built in 1957, it's purpose was to service the Stanley moor Reservoir!

Sadly there were serious leaks due to it's position over a fault line and it had to be decommissioned! So this pump house became redundant.

I came across this two years ago after going to photograph something else nearby, I'd tried repeatedly to find a way in; it is quite a drive for me but one thing with Urbex - persistence can pay off! Some places took years but today, luck was on my side. And it didn't disappoint!

I live not too far from there and in the past I've failed to get in too. It's really good to see what's inside at last, well done -thank you!

When will San Francisco be "decommissioned" !!

Lovely little place isn’t it! I’d always failed when I’d gone on the off chance. But heard about access recently, so went. It was worth waiting 4-5 years for!
