Pump House Gallery

I was unaware of this building, glad that I had a contribution for Jubilee expo.
The heritage fund was well spent on restoration. Bit elusive to discover.

Recently visited the gallery for the first time, hoping to find a place to wind down and discover a new artist. It was completely the opposite as I saw the manager of the gallery shouting at a staff member who had dropped something. Immediately got a bad impression from this place. From what I saw seems quite poorly organised and staff are shouted at.

This is what I like. This was a listed building. Probably still is. As a teenager (in the 1980’s), we used to play inside this. All that you see now, was not available to me. No stairs, no upper floors, just a derelict building of four walls & a roof with lots of pigeon visits.

So, what do I like? That something has been done with it, because the time of exploring old derelicts has past me by. I wonder if anyone found our time capsule.

I suppose other teenagers brought girls there. Now why didn’t I think of that? haha - too late now!

The wait was fairly long due there not being many people there at the time, but that wasn't a huge deal breaker. The only honest complaint we all had was that neither of our orders were 100% accurate. I asked for smothered tots and got smothered fries, ok we could live with that. Our friend asked for the fixing to be on the side due to them sharing the fish tacos and one had a food allergy and had them come out with everything on them. So no fish tacos for them, but at least they had the nachos to munch on.

Beautiful gallery. Deep inside the park.

Our school held its 40th Birthday event on Sat eve. It was lovely & would thoroughly recommend. Looking out onto others enjoying the summer sunshine in the rest of the park was really nice too.

Lovely venue. The support team provided great service

Perfect also for celebrations
