I like large stationery engines anthony.
Have been to both the pumping stations that are steam powered in Durham.
have noticed a collection of buildings as you leave Sunderland on A690 just before Jag garage sure it was once a working pumping station.

If it's Stoneygate you're thinking of, it still is a pumping station, albeit electric now.
