Hanchurch covered reservoir Not forgotten or disused but some lovely architecture from a time when utility buildings were made to look impressive and distinctive rather than the grey and green concrete and steel boxes of modern times. Hanchurch reservoir was filled from by Mill Meece pumping station a few miles down the road. The borehole at Mill Meece still supplies this reservoir but the steam engine has been replaced by modern electric pumps.

This one may not look too interesting at a glance. But it's noted as "pump house" on the 1970s os maps on the now sadly closed down Oldmaps.co.uk. Not shown on any of the available maps on NLS, it's still stood intact but sadly inaccessible (or at least it was when I visited in 2020) Water can be heard gushing inside and seen running from the rear of the building. Located adjacent to a disused tramway that ran from Cauldon Lowe limestone quarry down to Froghall wharf, I wonder if this pumphouse once supplied water to the tramway equipment? Definitely one for a revisit to see if decay has finished the wooden door off.
