Lade Bank Pumping Station, Old Leake, Lincolnshire

A Grade II listed building, the pumping station at Lade Bank was built in 1867.

The station was rebuilt in 1938 alongside the earlier building. New oil engines were installed in 1940.

The purpose of the station was to counteract the effects of the shrinking of the peat in the East Fen with the water pumped into the southern half of Hobhole Drain.
