Dist:0.7km<br/>The entrance was open today but not much seemed to be going on. Apparently an entrepreneur bought it in 2001 and received an English Heritage grant to help refurbish the building and turn it into 'The Famous Old Pump House' restaurant and pub, as indicated on the decaying board at the entrance. Much was renovated, but the money appears to have ran out. A recent incursion http://www.derelicte.co.uk/dalton-pumping-station shows that a lot of the original machinery is still in place

Dist:0.7km<br/>The building once housed steam engines for pumping water for the Sunderland and South Shields Water Company. It was built in the late 19th century and went out of use in 1941 http://www.keystothepast.info/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRN=D808 Comparison to the photograph by Chris Allen taken in 1994 [[144015]] shows that its proposed redevelopment has been somewhat delayed. Several chimneys have however, been removed.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Contains two Cornish beam pumping engines and has more recently been renovated. It was proposed to turn the boiler house into a pub but I don't think this has happened yet.

Dist:0.9km<br/>The first part of the village name, Dalton, comes from the Old English for 'farmstead in a valley'. 'Le Dale' was added in the medieval period to distinguish it from Dalton Piercy [[NZ4631]]. http://www.keystothepast.info/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRN=D6777 The church has mainly C13 features with extensive restoration by C. Hodgson Fowler in 1907 http://www.keystothepast.info/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRNMAP=D12579
