| Description |
English: Inside the Pump House [1] The Pump House at Thompson Graving Dock has recently opened to the public and it is well worth a visit.
The original part of the building was constructed in the 1880s to serve the Alexandra Graving Dock. It was extended significantly to cater for the massive new Thompson Graving Dock (see 491576), which opened in 1911, the building featured the most advanced state-of-the-art engineering of its day. Its hugely powerful pumping engines, housed deep in the building, could drain a full dock of 23 millions gallons of water in 110 minutes. This picture shows a view of the pumps that are a good 40feet below ground level. A series of underground tunnels leading from near the pumps, could take workers beneath both docks. |
