An auxiliary engine was installed at Bestwood Pumping Station to pump over this standpipe and feed the Kimberley and Greasley areas of Nottinghamshire. That engine and another - a Davey - were removed to Papplewick in 1885 to carry out the same duty. They were installed in the small building adjacent to the boiler house, which later served as a workshop. The photo is, unfortunately, undated.

The Papplewick engines had been adjusted to enable them to pump over the stand pipe at Papplewick and to the proposed new reservoir. A trial had been made with No. 2 engine and water pumped for about 2.5 hours over the stand pipe, over Dorket Head to Mapperley.
