“Actually that noise isn’t coming from this Tractor” I said to Hubby.
“It’s from inside that building”.
“Oh look . . . it’s a ‘Pump House’.” I giggled as we neared the doorway.
“It’s not the sort of pumping you’re thinking” Hubby said as he read the plaque outside. “It was the old Water Pumping Station that serviced the city in the late 1800’s. Let’s take a look.” he said excitedly.
“The Flywheel weighs 16 tonne and used to pump up to 13,600 cubic metres of water per day” he shouted across the viewing gallery.
“I can’t hear you properly over this noise” I shouted back. “But it’s certainly pumping out lots of hot air!”
“Whoo . . . I’ve come over all sticky” I said as I walked round to join him.
“Come on, let’s go back outside, this constant noise is getting unbearable.”
“Gosh, it’s like standing on top of a huge, shuddering, vibrator isn’t it.” I shouted out, “I wouldn’t have been able to control myself being stuck in here all day!!!”
But, as you may remember, I do like getting up-close to big equipment occasionally . . . at least for a little while.
Anyway for more pumping . . . and panting . . . at this week’s Sinful Sunday, just tap the lips below!
P.S. – I believe there is a “Pump Station” category at Jade’s fun
Scavenger Hunt pages, so I’m hoping to add this recent visit there.
There are more of my Scavenger Hunt visits to remember at my
Listings page . . . where there are now over 120 different locations.
Most of which are on my Scavenger Slideshow page as well!!!
