Taunton Firepool Pumphouse
Where? Somerset. Comments 2. Posted 20 June 2008.
Sitting between the main railway line and one of the canals in Taunton is the Firepool Pumphouse. It was used to get water from the canals, and store it in the huge tank on top, ready for filling steam trains with. Obviously steam trains aren't used any more so this place closed.
It's currently waiting redevelopment into a posh restaurant complex.
(I'm ditching thumbnails, so this report is pic heavy...)
