I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Due to rising water demand in the late 19th century, particularly from the increased use of water closets, the Staffordshire Potteries Water Company sought new water sources. A promising site was found on the Swynnerton Estate, owned by Basil T. Fitzherbert. Following successful test drilling, the company secured approval in 1888 to build Hatton Water Works, which was developed in stages over 20 years. It initially featured multiple steam engines and wells, with full completion by 1907. Between 1937 and 1959, the steam machinery was replaced by electric pumps powered by diesel generators. Some original engines have been preserved and are now part of a museum open a few days each year. In recent years, the historic buildings have been converted into residential apartments known as Hatton Manor, with care taken to preserve the site's architectural character. The main complex is now a Grade II* listed building.
The pumping station is now private land but a respectful flight is still possible to show the main pump house etc.
