This engineering complex on the River Wyre serves two purposes. It collects and pumps water from the Wyre and transfers it to the mid-reaches of the Lune, from where it is extracted for drinking water for Lancaster. It also has a barrage which is raised when there is risk of flooding downstream at St Michaels [where the Wyre becomes tidal]. The bank of the flood basin can be seen beyond the rugby pitch - which becomes a lake when the barriers are raised.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This large, red brick building is at the top of High Street. It was built in 1913 for the Board of Guardians and Garstang Rural District Council (later absorbed into Wyre Borough Council under Local Government Reorganisation in 1974). It is now used for a number of purposes.
