Claymills Victorian Pumping Station

A fascinating site that gives you a real chance to get to grips with the steam technology that drove the Industrial Revolution. Four large beam engines, nearly 30 other steam engines, large steam driven workshop where you can “have a go”. Only 1/4 mile from A38 Burton North junction. Brown signs from junction but not on A38. DE13 0DA.

Victorian engineering on an awesome scale. Absolutely fascinating, and made all the better by the great passion and depth of knowledge of the volunteers responsible for the terific restoration of the three beam engines that were in steam. Also thrilled to discover that work on the fourth engine is now under way. Will definitely be visiting again to see how that progresses. Worth mentioning that there are a large number of smaller steam engines in full working order that serve a variety of ancillary functions associated with the main beam engines. Could have stayed all day!

St. George's Park

Visited on Saturday 11th January 2020 St Georges Park, Englands Football Centre. Booked for myself and my son prior to an afternoon game at Mansfield. Stayed at Holiday Inn Express Burton on Trent. This hotel was the best pound for pound hotel I had ever stayed in at £41 for a twin room inc breakfast. Didn't stay at the Hilton which is located on-site as the cost was quite frankly exorbitant. Upon arrival for our allocated tour slot details were: Venue: St Georges Park Arrival Date: 11/01/2020 Departure Date: 11/01/2020 Booking Time: 12:30 Duration: 60 Minutes Package Cost: £20.00 (2 Attendees @ £10.00) This was good value in our view. Especially as there are so few slots available to book. When we arrived we were directed in the instructions to the hotel reception. We were met by our guide and as there was only us 2 we went straight away, The guide gave us details of the history of the site and its construction and operation as well as interesting anecdotes regarding players and England arrangements, all whilst navigating the areas we were allowed to visit in the hotel grounds and the football area. The time flew by and it was an interesting tour especially for a football-mad son. Would recommend to anyone with an interest.
