Children's book about "growing" machine/industrial sprawl?

An image (link) reminded me of a children's book I read at school (in England) in the 1980s. I can't remember much about it except it involved a machine that started out small and benign, but eventually grew to take over and pollute the whole world (allegorically, no doubt). I think it was largely or entirely pictorial, so impossible to google for! Anyone have any idea what it might have been? Thanks!
was it by any chance Bill Peet's "Wump World"? Not one machine specifically, but a race of aliens that invade and pollute a planet, driving the Wumps underground.
