Pump House at the Thompson Graving Dock

Another view of the pump house by the Thompson Graving Dock as it is slowly illuminated by the rising sun. The original part of the building was constructed in the 1880s to serve the Alexandra Graving Dock. It was extended significantly to cater for the massive new Thompson Graving Dock which opened in 1911, the building featured the most advanced state-of-the-art engineering of its day. Its hugely powerful pumping engines, housed deep in the building, could drain a full dock of 23 millions gallons of water in 110 minutes.
