taken 29 years ago, near to Twyford, Hampshire, England

Twyford Waterworks.
Twyford Waterworks.
My own punchy shot of this gorgeous site. Edwardian Waterworks is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It includes a steam pumping engine, water tube boiler, steam lighting set, several diesel engines and a lime plant complete with preserved lime kilns (I might post one of those later).
In 2007 it is not in steam due to asbestos problems but it is hoped that these will be resolved by 2008.
