Engine buffs are being invited to let off some steam in a post-Christmas event at a tourist attraction in south Staffordshire today.

The Bratch pumping station in Wombourne, which is one of only 50 remaining in England, is having a festive open day between 11am and 4pm.

It comprises a Gothic-style pump-house with two huge vertical steam engines, used until the 1960s.
