The Pump House, Friars Mill

The Pump House at Friars Mill is a mid to late 19th-century steam engine house constructed of brick. It stands two storeys tall with a pitched tile roof that rises to form a small pyramid at the north end. A tapering brick stack is located at the southeast corner of the building. The structure features three bays, each containing a pair of windows; the first-floor windows have segmental heads while the ground-floor windows are round-arched. This building is also known as the Sarah Engine House, reportedly named after the wife of the mill owner, A.R. Donisthorpe, who purchased the property in 1866. However, it is worth noting that the adjacent street was called Sarah Street as early as 1828.
