Old Waterworks Turbine House Video

Lifetime Lab has been informed that a rare video clip of our Turbine House in operation has been located and restored for use.The video was taken in the late 1970s and shows the turbines in full operation, from the mid 1800s up to  c 1992 four million gallons of water a day was pumped uphill to reservoirs by five turbines located in a turbine house on the river's edge.A stone plaque to the north gable, visible from the road, notes the names of the mayor, engineer and others who opened the building.

Our sincere thanks to Mr.Ray Jones who painstakingly modified the 1978 clip and made it available for all to view.
