Full Description
This pumping station has been developed in three stages starting in 1928, 1938 and 1968. The oldest part of the building has a pyramidal roof of slate with a ball at the apex and an ogee iron rainwater gutter. It is of red brick with a blue brick plinth band and a stone band at arch springer level and dado level, the latter with a blue brick course beneath it. Window and door openings are in Romanesque style, recessed with a hood mould on the extrados of the half round arches. Windows are bricked up, those in the north elevation may have been built blind. The newer buildings are flat-roofed, of red brick with blue brick plinths and have bricked up windows under concrete lintels. <1>.
