The North Midlands group of the B17 SLT visited the pumping station with the publicity and sales stand for the first time in September to attend the Vintage Weekend.
They found what proved to be a most interesting venue with much to interest the public including a Wallis and Stevens steam roller, classic and vintage cars and trade stands. Papplewick Pumping Station itself was built in 1884 by Nottingham Corporation Waterworks. There was quite a lot of interest in our project and both Alan Smalley, Brian Hall and Richard Allsopp agreed that we should return in the future.
