Saving Sandfields Pumping Station
Lichfield Waterworks Trust is a group of volunteers dedicated to preserving Sandfields Pumping Station with its fascinating history and unique Victorian Pumping Engine.
Our Address: Sandfields Pumping Station, Chesterfield Road, Lichfield, WS14 0AA
At Sandfields we have a magnificent Cornish Pumping Engine but unfortunately it is currently seized solid after not moving for many decades. We are currently working towards freeing it up and
getting it moving again. We have the expertice to do this but we need money for materials and a means to move the engine.
Please help us to achieve this by donating through our Crowdfunder page. Click the link above.
Thank you for kind generosity and for supporting us.

Speaker Justine Pick - will talk about the importance of organised water supplies for the purposes of domestic sanitation and flushing toilets.
From perilous privies to indoor bathrooms: water supply for the home.
So lots of disgusting facts about ashpits, middens and privy pans and the gradual transition to full water carriage and indoor plumbing
