Sulphur House

Sulphur House is a water sulphurization building constructed in the late 19th century for the Newcastle and Gateshead Water Company. It is built from rock-faced ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has a two-storey front and a single-storey rear, measuring approximately 25 by 35 feet. The façade includes flush alternating quoins and surrounds for the doors and windows. There is a double door with chamfered reveals, a three-light mullioned overlight, and a hoodmould above it. A three-light mullion-and-transom window with a Tudor arch is located above the door. Similar windows can be found on the returns, and there is a matching doorway at the rear. The building has chamfered offsets at both the ground and first floor levels, a moulded eaves cornice, and a pyramidal roof. Inside, there is 19th-century machinery, including a working beam engine and a large cast-iron capstan.
