A group working to safeguard the future of Lichfield’s Sandfields Pumping Station is inviting people to hear about their progress at a meeting in the city.
The Lichfield Waterworks Trust is fighting to save the Grade II* listed building.
A spokesperson said: “The unique 190 Hp Cornish Beam Engine and building are magnificent monuments to the lives of the people who died in the Black Country during the mid-nineteenth Century due to the cholera epidemics. It also celebrates the achievements of the Victorian water engineers who gave clean water to the nation.
“English Heritage has designated Sandfields Pumping Station as a building that has ‘more than special interest’.
“Unfortunately, what some see as Lichfield’s most significant pieces of industrial heritage, a true hidden gem form the past, is now a building at risk.”
The meeting will take place at the Duke of York pub in Lichfield city centre from 7.30pm on June 25.
