Visions of Park Bridge: Ye olde pump house.

Visions of Park Bridge:  Ye olde pump house.
This little corner was part of the coal colliery that was sited here. It will have certainly have housed a steam engine as running from here and still present is a small water-way that leads to the weir. Later in its life it was also used in conjunction with the nearby iron works. To me, it has always been a ruin, that should not be a surprise as the cessation of coal mining here was in 1887.

Nice full screen.

A fine place that is generally very quite nowadays. It would have been filled with noise in its day though.

Keep safe. Herb

Those walls could belong to a castle Peter. But, a lot of stone around here and so no problems getting the materials. Glad it piqued your interest. As you sat, nature is taking over again.

Enjoy this Sunday. Herb
