Leawood Pumping station, Cromford, Derbyshire

This is Leawood Pump in the Derbyshire village of Cromford. It was built in 1849 to pump water from the river Derwent into the Cromford Canal.
For more details please visit the website :

I took this video to show people what happens inside the pumping station and as an additional feature for my recent entry in the World Wide Panorama event (360 degree VR photography).

You can see my 360 degree photograph here :

Cromford Canal even has its own website as it is currently being restored. Learn more here..

Hope you enjoy your visit around Leawood Pump.
Thanks
