Ellie Gorski at Pappelwick Pumping Station Underground Reservoir

Published on December 5, 2023December 6, 2023 by DWC Imagery

Pappelwick Pumping Station has a wonderful and massive old Victorian underground reservoir. It would still be in use if it did not have a few small cracks in the walls. But it’s safe to visit, which is what Ellie Gorski and I did for an absolutely fantastic dance photoshoot. It’s eery, and damp, but wonderful.
