Description

The detached chimney at Cleadon Pumping Station is a Grade II* listed structure. It is constructed from red brick with light-coloured lime-rich mortar, featuring rusticated sandstone quoins and a high-level stone string course. The chimney has a square plan with a central flue, around which spiral 141 stone steps.

Architecturally, it is a tall Italianate chimney designed in the form of a three-stage campanile. It includes a bracketed upper string course and a pyramidal roof. Each of the four faces has twelve deeply inset vertical windows arranged in groups of two or three, with the brickwork recessed around each group. The upper stage windows have round-headed surrounds. Additionally, there is a ground floor entrance and a cantilevered gallery at the top floor.
