I found this negative whilst clearing out and wondered if anyone recognised the building.
Thanks for looking.

I might be on completely the wrong track: it looks like the pumping house of a waterworks to me, but where I don’t know :-\

That's a good call Jen, I never thought of that. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

It is very close to the image isn't it Roger...there are differences but you could be right with that if the structure to the right has been removed and that is the rear view.
Thanks for taking the time to look, it's much appreciated.

We often drive past the pumping station at Darlington which is what made me think of it.
