Description

The combined engine and boiler houses, adjacent coal store, engineman's house, and cottage at Cleadon Pumping Station were built between 1860 and 1862 by engineer Thomas Hawksley for the Sunderland and South Shields Water Company. The buildings began operation in 1862. They are constructed of brick with stone dressings and rusticated quoins, featuring hipped slate roofs. Designed in the Italianate Rundbogenstil style, the buildings have narrow windows that are mostly arranged in alternating single and coupled patterns. The engine house is two storeys tall, while the other structures are single storey. Inside the engine house, the floors are marked by a stone floor band with guilloche decoration. All buildings have deep overhanging eaves supported by bow brackets.
