Description

The Presser Pumping Station, built in the late 19th century, consists of an engine house, a pumping house, and a chimney. It is constructed from snecked sandstone with pecked ashlar dressings and features stone-flagged roofs. The engine house is a single-storey, three-bay structure, while the pumping house is two-storey and set back to the right, with a tall chimney attached to the left bay of the engine house.

The tapered chimney rises about 20 metres and has two top roll mouldings, with the upper one being dentilled. The attached building features two round-headed, three-light windows with transoms. The taller pumping house to the right has a high, buttressed ground floor and three smaller windows above. The roofs of the left building are hipped, while the right building has a pyramidal roof. There is a segmental-headed door on the left return, and a full-height, one-bay square projection, possibly a stair tower, connects the two buildings at the rear.

All openings are designed with alternate-block jambs and keyed arches with voussoirs. This structure is noted as a prominent feature in the landscape.
