Papplewick Pumping Station
This beautiful place was designed in the early 1880s to pump millions of gallons of clean fresh water every day to the rapidly increasing population of Industrial Nottingham.
Today, thanks to the endeavours of The Papplewick Pumping Station Trust, a Registered Charity dedicated to the preservation of the Pumping Station, and the enthusiasm of the volunteer members of the Papplewick Association you can still experience the most spectacular, preserved water Pumping Station in the British Isles.
The station is open for static viewing 11:00am - 2:00pm (depending on volunteer availability) 'In steam' every Bank Holiday and selected weekends. See website for details.
