Claymills Victorian Pumping Station 2012
Claymills Victorian Pumping Station with four huge beam engines was put in place in Burton-on-Trent primarily to deal with the waste from the brewing industry there. The coal fired boilers and two of the four massive beam engines have been restored and put back into full working 'steam driven' order and it is run on certain weekends throughout the year. Visit claymills.org.uk for visitor information.

Burton upon Trent, also known as Burton-on-Trent or simply Burton, is a town on the River Trent in East Staffordshire, England, close to the border with Derbyshire. The demonym for residents of the town is Burtonian.
Burton is known for brewing. The town originally grew up around Burton Abbey. Burton Bridge was also the site of two battles, in 1322 when Edward II defeated the rebel Earl of Lancaster and 1643 when royalists captured the town during the First English Civil War. William Lord Paget and his descendants were responsible for extending the manor house within the abbey grounds and facilitating the extension of the River Trent Navigation to Burton. Burton grew into a busy market town by the early modern period. The town is served by Burton-on-Trent railway station.
Burton is about 109 miles (175 km) north west of London, about 30 miles north east of Birmingham, the UK's second largest city and about 23 miles east of the county town Stafford. It is at the easternmost border of the county of Staffordshire with Derbyshire, its suburbs and the course of the River Trent forming part of the county boundary. Burton is closer to Derby (approx. 12 miles) than it is to Stafford. It is also near the south-eastern terminus of the Trent and Mersey Canal. Burton lies within the northern boundary of the National Forest.
The town's connection with the brewing industry is celebrated in The Burton Cooper a bronze sculpture, by James Walter Butler. It was commissioned in 1977 and depicts a local craftsman making a barrel. It originally stood opposite the market and - despite opposition from many townspeople - was moved to its present location inside the Cooper's Square Shopping Centre in 1994.
The National Brewery Centre (previously Coors Visitor Centre & the Museum of Brewing and before that the Bass Museum of Brewing), which celebrates the town's brewing heritage is its biggest tourist attraction. Claymills Pumping Station on the north side of Burton is a restored Victorian sewage pumping station, adjacent to the modern sewage works. Until 2006, one of Burton's most distinguishable landmarks was the Drakelow Power Station, just south of Burton on the opposite side of the River Trent. The cooling towers have since been demolished. Finney's post is part of an ornate mediaeval oak post, which once stood at the corner of the Market Place and High Street.
Burton now lies on both sides of the River Trent. Historically, there was just one bridge over the river, Burton Old bridge, and there was a small ferry that operated from time immemorial. This was eventually replaced by the Ferry Bridge. The town is served by Burton-on-Trent railway station, which is accessed from the bridge on Borough Road.

Stoking up Claymills pumping station
The Clay Mills sewage pumping station is another of England's National Treasures. It is arguably one of the most complete steam driven municipal pumping stations in the world behind Wouda Stoomgemaal. Five original Lancashire boilers, 4 original Gimson beam engines and scores of auxiliary engines still steam in a complete and undisturbed Victorian engine house.
The fourth out of four main engines is being restored and so far two of the original five boilers are in service with a third on the way. Please support this place.
