I am in awe Ron... simply brilliant.
Just behind and to the left of the bus is the old pumping station building... does anyone remember the noise this used to make at various times through out the day?

I remember the pumping station alright! As a young Sparky I used to have to climb down the slippery iron ladder into the tank and clean the electrodes when the pumps wouldn't run. No gloves or protection of any kind - no HSE then either. There were strange things floating in the effluent...
