    There are two pumping stations Ralph.
    The southernmost is at Mill Meece just north of where the A519 crosses the WCML, the second, this one, is at Lower Hatton ( also referred to as Swynnerton ) just north of Cranberry Village on the A51.
    http://www.millmeecepumpingstation.co.uk/hatton_works.htm the web address doesn't help.
