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.

Leawood Pumphouse
Leawood Pumphouse is an 1849 stationary beam steam pumping engine alongside the Cromford Canal to the south of Matlock in Derbyshire. The steam is generated by two locomotive boilers. Each stroke of the plunger pumps about 4 tons / 800 gallons from the River Derwent into the Cromford Canal.

The Cromford Canal especially the section near Matlock is very well preserved with many original features such as Leawood pumphouse the pump is still in working order today and can be seen running a few days a year
A Walk in Time
This hyperlapse video shows a 15-mile walk along Derbyshire's Derwent Valley. Is there anywhere else in the world where you can see this much history and so many stunning views in only one day's walk?
The walk features the sights and sounds of the UNESCO Derwent Valley Mills and also includes many other tourist attractions along the way.
Turn up your speakers to hear the amazing music by Derbyshire band, Haiku Salut and sounds from the walk.
Starting at Chatsworth House Rod Kirkpatrick first walks past a woman taking an early morning dip in the Derwent then continues through to Rowsley, where he rides on the footplate of a steam train fromPeak Rail, and continues on through Matlock Park, over Giddy Edge, down to cable cars for a ride up to the Heights of Abraham, back down to Matlock Bath, past Masson Mills, through Cromford Mill, alongside-side Birdswood (a horse-drawn narrow boat) follows the canal to Leawood Pumphouse, past Aqueduct Cottage, up to the Crich Tramway Village and finishes at the Mercian Regimental War Memorial at Crich.

Preparing for The End on the C&HPR - 1967
One of the most notable closures half a century ago in 1967 was the cessation of work on the near-legendary Cromford & High Peak Railway. Closure took place on Sunday 30th April on which day a number of special trains were run to mark the event. All used the last pair of locomotives to work on the line, Austerity class J94 tanks nos. 68006/12. Here we see them at Buxton to collect the stock for the tours, six goods brake vans and then working this train to the C&HPR. Was this an ECS working - or an EGS one?!

Storming Hopton - 1967
One of the most famous incidents on a steam railtour in the 1960s took place on 30th April 1967 during the Cam Camwell-organised Farewell to the former LNWR's Cromford and High Peak Railway (what a mouthful!) railtour for the SLS. The two BR Austerity tanks, nos. 68006/12, took a train of six loaded brakevans along the line and tried to climb the notorious Hopton Incline with the full train. They stalled near the top of the bank and had to split the train into two sections, all of which is seen in this clip, followed by a view of the train, re-coupled, returning westwards at Friden.

Middleton Top winding engines.mov
These two massive low-pressure engines (supplied with steam at 5 pounds per square inch) were built for the Cromford and High Peak Railway by the Butterley Company of Codnor Park, Derbyshire, in 1829. They drove the winding gear which brought wagons up the Middleton Incline, which is 708 yards long with a gradient of 1 in 8.25. The engines are no longer worked by steam. For demonstration purposes they are powered by slightly compressed (3-6 lb. sq. in.) air from an electrically-powered blower.

A Visit to the Aqueduct Cottage on Cromford Canal, Derbyshire
We went a walk along the Cromford Canal to take a look at the Aqueduct Cottage. The cottage is an old derelict lock keeper's cottage. The Derbyshire Wildlife Trust has obtained a grant to have it restored. Someone has painted some nice pictures on the boarded up windows. We wanted to take a look at it before they started work on it.
Spotted a few Little Grebes (or Dabchicks) diving. It was difficult to take any photos of them as they are so quick.
Called in at the Canal shop to get my chocolate fix!
A nice level walk for anyone with mobility issues. Just the way I like it!
