Abandoned Cheltenham Waterworks & Dowdeswell Tunnel!

Описание: Cheltenham Waterworks
Located in close proximity to Dowdeswell Reservoir, the Cheltenham Corporation Waterworks was constructed in 1925 to supply the growing town of Cheltenham with drinking water. The two powerful pumps manufactured by Gwynnes would have pumped water from the reservoir and treated it through numerous filter beds before feeding the town's water supply.

The site was later taken over by Severn Trent Water who managed the site until closure. 7 large filter beds were demolished in around 2020 to make way for an overspill car park for a nearby business, but the waterworks building itself remains in situ. I am not sure on the exact year the waterworks closed, it may have been as early as the 1990s. The site closed as a result of a more modern installation being installed in Twekesbury known as the Mythe Water Treatment Works. The reservoir is now
used as a balancing pond for flooding. Dowdeswell Tunnel no ifo available
