This beautiful place was designed to pump millions of gallons of clean fresh water every day to the rapidly increasing population of industrial Nottingham. It is thanks to the endeavours of The Papplewick Pumping Station Trust, a Registered Charity dedicated to the preservation of the Pumping Station, together with the dedication of many volunteer members of the Papplewick Association that you can still experience the most spectacular, preserved water Pumping Station in the British Isles.
Following extensive restoration, Papplewick Pumping Station once again stands proud as a spectacular example of Victorian craftsmanship and we are keen to engender understanding, enthusiasm and respect for our unique site with the widest possible community.
