More about this scene
The disposal of sewage off Anchorsholme became an increasing problem as more and more houses were built. The photograph shows the old pumping station. In August 1981 the Holland Dredging Company brought the dredger 'Holland XXIV' to Anchorsholme to lay a pipe line well out to sea. However, mountainous seas left the 5 million pound Anchorsholme sewage pipe project in ruins.
