Whitley Pump station and lodge- Coventry/nov/2012

[MeanMustard]

The remains of a pump station and burnt down lodge in Coventry. Designed by Thomas Hawksley, and constructed in 1893, just after his death. An almost identical copy of the Dalton Pumping Station in Sunderland.
The lodge is entirely breeze blocked up, after substantial fire damage a couple of years ago, although you can see inside of the pump station. I previously posted something similar, but am new to this and thought I made a mess of it, sorry for that.

Drive past regularly. Can't believe how it's been left to rot.
