Background
History
Langford Pumping Station was built by Thomas and Charles Hawksley between 1924 and 1927, opening in 1929. It continued pumping fresh (treated) water using steam engines until 31 October 1963, when electric pumps took over. It is designed to extract water from the Rivers Chelmer, Ter, and Blackwater. The three inflows merge in a small settling reservoir, where sediment is naturally deposited, and then pumped for treatment, and again to a storage reservoir.
