Marley Hill, Byermoor Pumping Station

The pumping station was built in 1912 to pump sewage from nearby colliery houses. Although the building is unexceptional, the pumping gear is of considerable interest. The equipment was designed and manufactured by Siemens and installed by Hughes and Lancaster. It is in full working order and continues to pump affluent as and when required. The electrically operated compressors and switchgear are as originally installed - even the lampshades are unaltered.
