Gorpley Waterworks under construction. It was finally opened in 1905. The work was completed by Benjamin Lumb, the local builder. In this view, the workmen's encampment can be seen beyond the half-constructed filter beds
The new building is under construction at the same time as the old building is being demolished. The red brick building is the Trades Club on Holme Street.
Nick Wilding is pictured in conversation; it looks as though work has started on the conversion of the building to apartments. The building on the left is the former Calder valley club.
