The Water Filter Station was built in 1913 to purify water from Strines, Dale Dike and Agden reservoirs. It closed in 1995 when a new water treatment works was built and is now dilapidated, but it has a classical-influenced façade and is a prominent feature of Low Bradfield. The Authority is recommending it should be repaired.
Following on from blueinks earlier report, and seeing the place had fresh graff, I decided that a revisit was due.
It's really had a battering since my last mooch, and now has some really bad and mindless tagging. The more discerning artists however deserve some credit for their talent.
Explored with my son
The usual external shots first.
The Classical Facade. ( apologies for the blurred spots, was pissing down )
The worlds worst fence, and every explorers nightmare to negotiate
Lets get in out of the rain.
Some mindless moron decided to think it was FINE to spray over the wonderful blueprints of the plant
And how it looked 12mths ago.
Right... Iv'e had my rant. Lets carry on
Bloody hell Something still intact
Loved the roof.
And credit where credit's due
Ta for looking.
